Lack of Intellisense to explore the API is the main problem for me. After that, availability of samples to learn from.

I'm trying to get a list of things that people find bad in (labl)gtk.
Would you be able to put clear words on what you dislike?

I'm looking for input from anyone and you can mail me directly if you don't want to flood the list (or send a message on IRC).

Thanks,
Adrien Nader
