The only thing GTK "stole" from the web is CSS. It looks to me 
like you believe GTK uses DOM - no it does not. It has own widget 
tree, a strictly typed hierarchy built on GObject.

Finally, Sciter uses it on Linux it seems. So, it seems you opted 
for using GTK's lower layer. I am not surprised, it is a good 
choice. You could have used SDL instead, could you, but you 
decided to use GTK... What is important is that it works for you 
and your business!
