Embracing the toolkit (GTK) and adopting GNOME application style are two different things. Yes, we can make more use of GTK. But we do not have to "GNOME it up" for it. And whether or not we use a toolkit to its fullest is no indication at all that we switch to another one.
I think it's already been expressed here, but I would say that (within the realm of what is possible), Geany should continue to work comfortably in any window manager / desktop environment. While I've grown to tolerate Gnome3 over the last year (mainly because I don't have time to properly test the alternatives), I expect to abandon it in the future in favour of something a little less GPU heavy.
I'm very interested in this (potential) architectural change, and should I find myself with time in the future (not going to happen for at least another few months) I'd be quite interested in trying to contribute.
