Yes you are right.
I agree that Wx is for the moment the only somehow accessible GUI which is
portable on more operating systems. I also like the fact that it is some
more advanced than other GUIS. For the moment I am not so interested in its
portability, but I might be.
But I don't agree with that "list of successful programs".
It is a very small list of programs, and they are not what I understand by
"successful".
I understand by successful one of the following:
Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, MS Word, MS Excel, Mozilla Firefox,
Microsoft Age of Empires, Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, Eidos Commandos,
Nero Burning ROM, programs for using a TV Tunner, Windows Explorer, and many
other programs which are used by hundread of million people.
I didn't verify, but I doubt that some of them are made using Wx Widgets.
Even with the latest years .net hype, I think that most of their interfaces
are made using MFC (of course, with the exceptions of those like Firefox
that were started just to compete Microsoft).
But don't understand me wrong. I didn't say that I am not interested in
WxWidgets samples under C++.

Hello Teddy,
I respect your opinion on this but I have to desagree, because
there're many "successfull" projects made in wx (look
www.wxwidgets.org) and also because of a more important reazon:
I am a blind working in the programming area. Right untill now I
didn't need to make a software with a gui, but if I have to do one
some day, and one which will run on several platforms, mfc won't lead
me to anything usefull. In fact, wx is one of the few solutions which
will allow one develope a gui software to unix or mac platforms and
test it safely and easily before releasing it in the windows platform.
