Now perhaps some can see that Gnome is _still_ trying to catch up.

GNOME and GTK haven't been "catching up" to EFL. it's actually pretty much the other way around, and to be fair, it's going to be a long time before the EFL set of bajillion libraries can compete in terms of design, engineering practices, and implementation, with the libraries in the GNOME platform.

I think you missed the point that Clutter has been available and used for 7 years; all this time, it has been integrated with the GNOME platform. in order for Clutter and GTK to get better, and get more features and users, they need to merge. Clutter has to turn into something at the very core of the platform diagram, not as something that you can opt in.
