This means when you only need the GUI you'll be linking to everything else in their library, which increases your code size. Plus, all those extra classes in WxWindows will make things like porting to other platforms even tougher, because you can't just port the GUI, but instead you must port all the classes.
As you have pointed out in the rest of your post, it
may prove more
worthwhile to work with the developers which already
exist for a free
cross-platform framework like wxWindows, in order to
encourage them to use
more modern C++ idioms
I agree with this suggestion. I am wondering how realistic would it be?
And would it even be feasible to port WxWindows GUI classes to use SDL, for example?
Besides, I believe it would take more effort to change all the existing WxWindows code to use modern C++ techniques (which they would probably be against for backwards compatibility reasons) than it would to create one from scratch.
