It uses the gnome libraries, but I'm fairly fond of gnucash.

The benefit is they make making (good) applications easier on the
programmer, hence the number of applications using them.  

I've worked with GTK a little, and with Xt and Motif even less, and
I'd have to say, having a toolkit/library that doesn't suck (and GTK
more-or-less qualifies) helps a lot.  Sure, you *can* write an
application using just Xlib calls.  You could also probably not use
the C library.  But why????
