Just because an application doesn’t build doesn’t mean you have to
completely rewrite it.

I have no idea where you got this bullshit from. The changes between GTK
2.x to 3.x are minor and imply in no way a change in a “model” you
haven’t defined anyway (object model? widget model? event model? none of
them have changed).
