Full agreement on wxWidgets's stature, yet comparing it to MFC is unfair to
it.

wxWidgets uses a Message Map system (to route dynamically typed Observer
Pattern messages through C++'s static typing). Yet wxWidgets does not
indulge in MFC's endless coupling and vendor lockin.

Put simply, you can create one wxWidgets object, alone, without creating
everything else on the map just to couple to it.
