Well, it has its drawbacks, but if native controls are a requirement, what alternative cross-platform good enough frameworks do we have? Agree about your point

Well, it has its drawbacks, but if native controls are a requirement, what alternative cross-platform good enough frameworks do we have? Agree about your points, except you can Connect (dynamically) event handlers as in Qt's connect. From wx 3.0 you can actually Bind any function (i.e. it is not necessary to derive from wxEvtHandler). I always preferred this to Qt's blind, non-cpp, runtime evaluated connect's. At least you get a compiler error when it is not possible to connect.
