The real Win32 API is based on the Win16 API which was a reasonable
design in 1983, but had a lot of premature size and performance
optimization. That premature optimization is extremely cruddy
now. MFC was a C++ wrapper that tried to do things more sensibly
(aka object oriented) but was constrained by the C++ language
of the time and the underlying Win32 API.
That said, MFC isn't *bad* a toolkit to base something like the
design of wxWidgets on. And wxWidgets has gone through two
major versions now and has significantly refined things.
