Apart from GTextView being multiline and able to display text in different styles (font, color etc. using tags), what are other obvious differences between the two?
A:
I think those are the big differences. They are meant to accomplish different tasks.

A:
Both GtkEntry and GtkTextView can be multiline.
GtkTextView can in addition:
- Does not store any data, it uses GtkTextBuffer for that
- Several
GtkTextViewwidgets can display the same content - Be serialized to disk as RTF
- Contain other
GtkWidgets - Support advanced buffer manipulation through the
GtkTextBufferapi
