While GTK4 likely isn't coming out until next spring, the Nautilus file manager port to this updated tool-kit is well underway...

Looking at the screenshots it seems the GTK devs succeeded in making the toolkit even more alien than GTK3 already was :/

Looks like gtk3 to me. What difference do you see?

Great news. Let us hope Gnome 4 won't take too long to come and be usable.

Looking at that picture and I want to cry. What have they done to Nautilus? That picture shows an big empty window with some icons crammed inside it. The entire illustration looks as if some coder had his first tries opening a gtk window and have some icons shown inside it. No appealing product I would die using.

To be honest, it looks surprisingly similar to what I expect PCManFM with only one tab open would look like if they'd ported from GTK+ 2.x to GTK+ 3.x rather than Qt 5.

That screenshot is from one developer with his own custom. Nothing special really.

WTH are you going on about? If the folder being viewed had more items, there would be more icons in the empty space...
