Did you try tree view under Windows, for example? I did, a lot. There are
numerous problems with it. For instance, refresh does not work well upon
resizing of panes containing tree views.

Do you have X-sever (cygnus) and a Linux host? Compile your Ada application
on Linux and start it side-by-side once remotely under X-sever once
natively. The difference between X11 and Windows GTK will become obvious.

I only quoted GTK+ documentation. GtkAda's one repeats it:
