As a side note, only partially relevant to the original post,... if you are looking for a performance based Windows GUI, and want to throw MFC into the trash heap, you can also look into WTL. It isn't platform independent, but is what MS uses on many of the tools supplied by the OS. WTL handles multiple GUI threads better as well.
Found at http://wtl.sourceforge.net/ along with http://www.codeproject.com having many examples.

Having worked with MFC for quite some time, I can only not stop saying about how many design flaws there were in it. To name a few, no use of namespaces, unnecessary capitalization and mapping of events to macros everywhere, limited support for web programming, Started as being non compliant with ISO C++ and since then it is trying to keep up. MS has done well trying to keep up. But after looking at Boost, I think MS has to do a lot to catch up. I am saying this, partly to explain my mindset in understanding C++. After looking at Boost and STL, I find what most C++ developers are saying and working upon. People working on environments other than windows, know about all these, while those working on windows have no option but to use MFC or ATL or plain win32 API. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
