I don't know about wxWidgets, but under Tk if you create a button and
nothing else, the system creates the window to go around it. This is a
little more than a convenience.

Under the MFC that I remember, you cannot even create a CString unless your
program includes "afxwin.h", which pulls in a bunch of globals that you must
satisfy, so you must create a main form, a resource segment, etc. No I have
never tried CButton but I can't imagine it's better.

These are primarily MS's burdens; they cannot easily upgrade their own
library without maintaining its endless VendorLockin. So they no longer use
MFC on their own new projects, despite they invested in it for years.
