I think the problem with the replies is that they are all subjective (which is natural). Whilst I don't have any problems with QT, here is what I would say is the "other side" to give a balanced view. 1. I have to say that I emailed Julian Smart, the creator of wxwindows a few times (I too had lots of questions) and was very impressed with the replies; disregarding technical merit for the moment, I would recommend wxwindows politically. 2. I know you said "apart from the licence", but I also found this to be an important factor. Basically, if you want to create free software (libre) and distribute it, then you can. However if you want to create commercial software, you can with wxwindows but can't with QT unless you buy the full product (expensive). 3. I personally think (subjective!) that the C++ implementation is cleaner in wxwindows and doesn't need things such as MOC. It also promises to be as platform independant as possible. I think that a lot of people are enthusiastic about QT because it is used by the "darling" crowd for KDE. I have no objections with KDE (I use it about 50% of the time) or QT, but like I said earlier we need to stay as objective as we can.

Supported platforms will be Linux and Windows. I thought I was going to use qt, when I discovered the free wxwindows. So here it is my question: apart from license, what is better? qt or wxwindows? Just looking for your experiences and thoughts.
