I can confirm that from speaking to Canonical employees and attending
UDS that the tone has been for a long time that they will eventually
stop supporting Gtk+ in favor of Qt
At the current rate, 14.04 may be the last version of Ubuntu under
which you can run Gtk+ apps unless the community wants to build Mir
support for Gtk+.
Canonical is building a suite of default apps in Qt and all their
third-party dev documentation is now focused on Qt. This is
happening. Ubuntu is for Qt.
But like ConciousUser has stated, there is absolutely nothing wrong
with that. That is 100% their choice to make and in my opinion,
having a dedication to a single toolkit is a great choice. That's why
elementary also has a dedication to a single toolkit and if we built
a new display server I can tell you right now we'd have no intention
of making Qt run on it.

They already did. With or without Mir support, The GNOME stack and
Compiz are clearly second class citizens in Ubuntu now. For
evidence,
look no further than the schedule of the last UDSes and pretty much
*all* communication from Canonical employees ever since Ubuntu Touch
was announced.
And just to be clear, because people got confused about this the
last time I brought it up: I DO NOT MEAN THIS AS CRITICISM AGAINST
CANONICAL, NOR I AM IMPLYING ANY SORT OF MALICE OR HOSTILITY FROM
THEIR SIDE. *No* distro can devote the same amount of attention to
all apps. KDE apps have always been second class citizens in Ubuntu,
and that is perfectly fine.
