XFCE would run much better than all of this shit for sure. Linuxhippy's benchmark is awful because he should have run Tomb Raider because it runs the same everywhere.

Lol, hold on. We have loads of crappy little internal tools made using the latest (at the time) Gtk+2. We wouldn't dream of spending time porting them to Gtk+3 when they work perfectly fine. Actually we even have a couple of Gtk+1 programs kicking about.
Ubuntu can demote it until the cows come home... People can and will carry on using it however. Heck I am 99% sure that we will see a port of Gtk+1 and Gtk+2 to Wayland.
I am even confident to say that Gtk+1 will outlive Wayland (and Ubuntu) in terms of getting it working.

. This also will mean a better Wayland experience, better performance, etc.
At least for some use-cases (Eclispe) GTK3 is significantly slower than GTK2.
I once compared several SWT implementations and those were the results:
Time per benchmark run:
GTK3: 1942 millis
GTK2: 757 millis
Motif: 615 millis (32-bit VM, SWT-3.5.2)
Swing: 156 millis (default Ocean LnF)
Best regards

Ubuntu Developers Working Towards The Eventual Demotion Of GTK2
Phoronix: Ubuntu Developers Working Towards The Eventual Demotion Of GTK2
Not only are Ubuntu developers working towards demoting Python 2 on their Linux distribution but they are also working on being able to demote the GTK2 tool-kit from the main archive to universe followed by its eventual removal in the future...
