Well, 

To old-time linux/unix users such as myself, it does not "look like crap".
GTK 1 was revolutionary in its days. The GTK1 target is maybe not the most 
flashy one by current standards, but it does its job, requires WAY less 
resources than GTK 2 and is a hell of a lot faster. 

For this reason I still use it daily.
