Keeping GTK available ensures a much larger developer base (C, Python, vala for those of us who want to use object-oriented C/GTK apps. without writing C++, etc.)
If Nokia pushes Vala forward, then we'll have much better OO language than C++, much faster than Python and much easier than C to speed-up the development and adoption. I hope this is the way to go

EDIT: On a 3D note - Clutter has Vala bindings already - http://live.gnome.org/Vala/ExternalBindings
