You can build wxWindows with the free (as in free beer) Borland's bcc5.x 
compiler, or with free (as in free beer and free speech) compilers like 
Minwg's gcc.

I did not used wxWindows intensively, but I never had a crash in three 
years. I couldn't say the same about apps written with MS VisualBasic or 
like :(.

Every non-trivial code does have bugs. Python has bugs, gcc has bugs, 
not talking about msvc. I think that some posts in this thread were a 
bit of a special case (FUD or bad experience, I can't tell...)

wxWindows has 11 years of existence, and bindings exists for more and 
more languages (Javascript, Python, Perl, haskell, lua, Ruby, Eiffel, 
and even Java and C#...). I don't think so many developers would spend 
personnal time writing bindings to a 'that much buggy' toolkit !-)
