GObject always felt like a poor man's Objective-C to me.
It's a shame that the language was so completely sidetracked in '90s open source Unix development. I suspect part of the blame goes to GNUstep's ambitious overreach. Maybe if they had just focused on an Obj-C widget toolkit instead of building an entire NeXT look-a-like desktop, it would have been more palatable to the wider community.
