IMHO yes. Gtk 2 is pretty complete, Gtk 3 might need some more love on 
lesser platforms (Windows) but since the stackoverflow question you linked 
to there is now an official Windows binary etc. But, really, the View part 
is just a small piece of what a GUI has to do and could reasonably be 
implemented natively on other platforms later. Assuming that the whole 
architecture is sane, of course.

You're right that this is an important problem, but I'm not convinced

IPython can't even capture stderr / stdout from the child 
process: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/1230
