> They both work OK, just the GTK+ 3 build gives all the ridiculous tablet-UI dialogs that plague GTK+ 3.

Most dialogs can be configured as crippled or useful, but you need to use a sensible desktop focussed distro like Mint that sets the dialogs settings as close to the old ones as it can  [end free plug].

> That was the purpose of the Preferences->Various tab, though I think it may still be missing some preferences.

Though it was intended to take prefs out of the user prefs file, not filetypes files and themes, but line spacing does seem to not belong in those.  PRs are welcome.

> I've noticed on many occasions where Scintilla renders differently than native GTK+. 

Well, both use Pango, but maybe Scintilla sets some options different to GTK, and as I said above AA and also how fonts provide hinting and how it is used.  And of course fonts that are not properly monospaced are known to throw things off.  Certainly my normal font `Hack` and `Deja-vu`, that I checked above, both look identical (on GTK3 and standard dpi screen, your GTK2 on hidpi may differ).
