So code in wxWidgets and your program will run on both Windows, Mac OS X
and Linux, natively. Three for the price of one! And it's much easier to
use than MFC. Dialogs and windows are easy to design using the
DialogBlocks WYSIWYG UI creator (not free and commercial, but low cost).
So prepare your software to be independent of platform yet still look
'native' and be prepared for the future.

See http://www.wxwidgets.org for more information.

I hate commercials;)
