I could spend effort trying to make stuff compatible with both GTK2 and 
3 but since GTK+ 2 is obsolete and even Geany will be depending on GTK+ 
3 by default soon, it seems pointless to write code that is deprecated 
before it's even complete.

Currently it uses Scintilla's. Eventually it will probably provide own 
popup window that has better items, some extra widgetry and performance 
improvements over Scintilla's.

I did not. To the best of my knowledge libclang provides the best and 
most accurate open source library available for IDEs to hook into the 
C/C++ compiler and in my experience, besides a having a user-unfriendly 
API (verbose, inconsistent, undocumented, etc), it offers lots of useful 
features out of the box.
