Please use wxWidgets, the multiplatform C++ class library. It's free, open-source and non-commercial. It's modeled after MFC but it produces code which can be compiled (using conditional compilation) into native code executables with the speed and UI look of the platform for which the compile is targeted. So the Windows executable looks like (and is) a real Windows program, the Mac OS X executable looks like (and is) a native Mac OS X program and the Linux executable is and looks like a real Linux/GTK+ application. It has been in development by a band of open-source programmers led by Julian Smart for over a decade (12 years to be exact)!
Got a few problems with that. I have seen wxWidgets type programs on a Mac, and no, they don't work like a Mac program. Sure they superficially resemble what the Mac OS looks like, but often stuff just isn't right. I also find this to be the case on Windows, where things don't quite feel right. On the other hand, even if that were all fixed, as others have pointed out, it's C++. :-P Bleh. ;-)
