wxFormBuilder and wxWidgets is indeed "Dialog Resource Editor and MFC" wannabe, though more cross platform, with a nicer API and with more features. Also wxWidgets is actually what people think MFC was (a layer on top of Win32/native API) instead of what it really was (a C++ extension utility of Win32 that did not try to hide Win32 API). wxFormBuilder is nicer than Qt Designer but they are both essentially based on the same core idea of designing a dialog visually and then wiring everything by hand (code). In another comment above i go into more details, but i guess you already know most of that :-P.
