I hope GTK3 will be still supported for a long time.
GTK4 is more than a revolution IMO. It feels more like another toolkit which is using glib by accident as well.

From a user point of view, here is my personal shitlist for GTK4:

no icons on menu items
no classic file menu
no window positioning
only CSD
popup menus require compositing (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4815)

Fancy, modern interface experts might like this on their tiny exotic devices.
I remember I had similar reservations from GTK2 to 3 but from 3 to 4 is even a way bigger step.

I think we will loose quite some features with GTK4 and need to think about the user interface aside from the technical aspects.

Disclaimer: the above is my personal opinion and does not claim to be correct or a good direction for the future.
