P.S. and let's not forget that Gtk3 really really wants to draw its own titlebars and do its own window management.
That must optional, surely. Otherwise it's a dead end.

I was prepared to whine about exactly that. There is literally no gtk3 theme that, simultaneously: - Is not flat and generally grey or dark blue. It's as if everyone Apple fanboy who was rejected by Apple's UX department is now making GTK themes. - Is not frickin' ginormous. I know multitasking is frowned upon now that we have tablets, but I have a bloody 27" screen, I want more than one window on it at the same time…

For instance, they've deprecated GtkStatusIcon in favour of AppIndicator: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734826 What's wrong with freedesktop systray?
Gtk3 is really becoming isolated and gnomish-only. Frenzy. Mozilla's transition to gtk3 now looks completely catastrophic in a long-term perspective.

https://i.imgur.com/wYVyJG5.png Most gtk2-based (or dependent, in case of eclipse) apps I use at daily basis (incl. floating deadbeef settings window with older gtk2 plugin) side-by-side. I haven't included evince (gtk3) as I am using partially broken gtk3-Mist theme (not compact as xfce-b5, but still better than Adwaita). Nothing scaled, cropped or such. Btw, I use Classic Theme Restorer plugin, which also helps wit…
Is that ICQ? ;)

Then create one your self, this is open source, you are getting stuff for free and you got the source.
> - Doesn't break in the next release.
is something that can't be worked around simply by creating your own theme. That seems to be caused by poor compatibility checking (or reckless disregard, as others are claiming), which could bite you even if you create your own theme.
Obviously, you could extend your suggestion to "fork gtk3", but that's likely a significant undertaking and not reasonable for everyone. I think it is reasonable to expect developers to maintain compatibility between minor version releases, assuming they're using semantic versioning, otherwise it's poor communication on the part of the developers.
Disasterous :( For me, it has begun from evince and deadbeef, now firefox is on its way to follow. The problem is that I am unable to find any compact gtk-3 theme that looks like xfce-b5 theme for gtk-2. Xfce theming engine seems to be broken under gtk>=3.8. The only possibility is to recreate theme from scratch and pray that nothing would be broken when minor bumps again. Hell, I am unable to find any theme compact…

So the next question is, anyone running Firefox on Wayland yet? ;)
I run Fedora 22 and tried FF on Wayland. It brought the system to a crawl, but I believe it was using Xwayland and not native. Running it native Wayland is supposed to be nice. I'm hoping my old machine from 2005 will still work great with Wayland. Desktop and simple web stuff worked fine, but it died on cookie clicker.

Yeah, things are pretty terrible for theme developers. It's like GTK 3 development was steered by Steve Ballmer.

It's not a problem of asshole theme creators, it's a software quality problem, and everyone in the Gnome Project's bubble is dancing around it and pretending it's good for the users.

I've spent considerable time looking for GTK3 themes that meet your requirements. My current choice is openSuse-Pistachio which is green, reasonably compact, and did not break for two consecutive Ubuntu releases. zonColor icons work beautifully, too, with adjustable colors. There are a few more reasonable choices (though not oodles) on gnome-look.org
