Have you ever tried to use MFC in anything other than a 
simple application? 

MFC is nothing more than a poorly designed C++ layer over the 
Windows Win32 API. One of it's greatest contributions to the 
world of software development is it clearly demonstrates how 
NOT to design a C++ application framework. 

At least wxWidgets does offer an OOP look and feel, which is 
no simple task given that wxWidgets is also a multi-platform 
application framework.

Add to this the fact that MFC is no longer supported by 
Microsoft (ie there will be no ew version or bug fixes for 
future versions of Windows) and the choice is simple. I 
would definitely not be choosing MFC.
