I talked to wx upstream when packaging wx3.0 for Debian, and their
recommendation at that point was firmly to stick with gtk2 for now.

That would have been around October 2013, so ~18 months ago as I write.
Checking "git log -i --grep=gtk3" shows 19 GTK3 related commits on the
3.0 branch since then, so things may have evolved, but it sounds from
what nickoe says that it's not as solid as the gtk2 support yet.

Switching gtk version is going to need significant amounts of testing of
reverse dependencies, and quite likely a rebuild of all the C++ ones, so
my current plan for Debian is to review the gtk version used when it
comes to packaging wx 3.2, but if upstream's release timeline slips a
lot that might not be a viable approach.
