stable means stable. Why does there need to be a new release if the last one
works? If you look at it that way, Motif is a complete waste of time, it hasnt
seen a new version in several years.

Currently, GTK+ and QT are the most common for end user applications like email
programs, web browsers, etc. Smaller, simpler programs may be tk, pure X, or
other random toolkits. Seeing how Motif is not friendly to open source
development it is no longer common to find.
