Compared to a regular programmers editor for Win~1:

- Non-native interface. Pretty much a norm these days, and can be fixed to some extend. - With gtk+2, randomly starts to eat several % of CPU time. Not a real problem, except for laptops. With gtk+ 3.8, see "Geany with gtk+ 3.6.4 under Windows". - Does not work with all monospaced TrueType fonts. - Find in Files for locale texts is broken (passing locale file names to tools is almost surely broken too, but the locale file names support in glib is terrible anyway). [1] - Filtering more than 4K of text may block. [1] - Sync building, the resulting stdout and stderr are completely separated. [1], though they still may be mixed, if the spawned program emits lots of stdout and stderr texts fast enough. Haven't seen any real program do that.
[1] OK with the spawning fix.
GTK 4 :-o Hadn't heard of that. If it's anything like the GTK 3 transition: be afraid!
The Big Depreciation of gtk+3 becomes The Big Removal. Don't know about anything else, and don't care any more.
