My point was that QT has adopted the new ideas from C++ (like the new override operator), where as wxWidgets (last time I looked, a few years ago) has barely moved to using the STL for containers. wxWidgets is a much more conservative framework, where QT seems to embrace the new stuff (and provide backwards compatible hooks where possible). Of course, you could use different C++ styles and ignore "what you don't like" from either framework, but there's a little impedance mismatch.
