A silly comment.
It is great if people improve existing software, but there may exist
good reasons for writing something new. For GTK -- there are many
operating systems where GTK is not well supported or not available at
all, while Qt is. And there may exist people who use that proprietary,
non Linux like operating system. And, when  ODB++ and IPC2851 file
format become better supported by fab houses, it is great if there is a
free viewer.
