Everyone agrees which tool to use - GTK. The only debate is how you
develop your app, and this is akin to debate about which IDE you like.
It's just preference.

You can take or leave Glade - it's an application that makes development
easier, and it has some advantages and some disadvantages. I don't think
there's much disagreement about the core libs - thing like glib/gtk and
such like.

Caveat - I do almost no serious development myself, so my opinions
should be taken as just that.
