Well... here are a number of reasons why your work is still useful:

* the v2 client's UI was *already* done with glade

* I believe there aren't any GUI tools yet that fully support the 
GtkBuilder format

* and while we're on that, I believe the library doesn't yet have all the 
functionality offered by libglade, although I'm not sure we're using any 
of the missing features

* we have been promised migration tools in the future to convert Glade 
files into GtkBuild ones; there is some prototype stuff, but not, I 
believe, yet production quality.  Which means, when GtkBuilder does 
mature, we can convert our files

* and conversely, we've been told migration from libglade to GtkBuilder 
won't be very hard; in particular, it will be easier than migrating a 
"normal" gtk+ app which uses glade

best,
