I have the same experience when I ported a part of my project to 
Gambas3, but a lot of bugs where fixes since then.

The main problem I have is that the Gnome GUI part of my project (which 
is big), looked awkward when ported.
It costs a lot of time to make it look descend, still don't know why 
that happens.
I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 using Gnome and default themes.
Texts are to large to fix in there boxes, back and foreground colors are 
different than with Gambas2.
Anyone has that experience too?

Will try to invest some more time soon, and report back the issues I run 
into.

Regards,
Ron_2nd.
