Perhaps, because GTK developers insist, that GTK2, GTK3, GTK4 are different toolkits.

I'd start with Qt3 to Qt4.

Yeah let's start on a specific version that they overhauled the API since computers are getting new hardware features, god forbid a different DPI. And use that as a leverage point against a library that kept their API quite stable for the last 20 years!

Especially when comparing Qt against a library who couldn't keep its shit together for 5 years and is infamous for breaking all sorts of API and removing features.
