Users (=apps) would rather convert to using GSettings in Glib/gio. dconf is one backend for GSettings, another one is gconf (by http://git.gnome.org/browse/gconf/tree/gsettings/ ), or could e.g. be the Windows registry (if somebody wrote the code for that). There is a migration guide from GConf to GSettings at http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/2.27/ch28.html and the GSettings API reference at http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/settings.html . A script called "gsettings-data-convert" exists to migrate user settings from GConf to another GSettings backend, e.g. dconf.
