Re: GSoC 2024: gnunet-gtk gtk4 upgrade

I think our use of glade is historical.
It just made sense to somebody (not me, my guess is Christian).

I personally have no issue with moving away from glade as RAD tool as I 
find it very cumbersome myself.
Note, however, that it will also mean writing a lot of code that is 
currently hidden behind those glade XML files.

OTOH moving to a WIP RAD tool is also not such a smart idea, maybe. But 
that depends on the maturity of cambalanche, which I cannot judge myself 
right now as I have never tried it.
