@CmykStudent I'm not convinced that it is a good direction in which GTK moves. I see icons as visual anchors that make it easier to identify the entries you are looking for. Why take that away?

@tinx I think they reference studies about icon usage and recognition in menus, and that influenced their design decisions. That said, GIMP, Inkscape, and other software are more complex than the applications that the GTK developers are designing for, so I believe icons are quite helpful.
