Well, if you choose to use libglade and you are having trouble with,
say, tooltips, just be sure to search on "gtk libglade tooltips", not
just "gtk tooltips".  That's all I meant.

Possibly true.  Feel free to write one! :-)  Or help make Anjuta better.

Python is certainly a very nice language for quick learning curve and
quick development of scripts and the like.  It probably shouldn't be
used for very large applications though, as it gets a little java-like
upon scaling - large memory footprints, gc gaps, etc.  But then you
can code the core of the app in C and wrap it in a python frontend.
