Not exactly and this view of it is IMO why a lot of people dislike it: MFC is not a layer like Qt, you don't use it to avoid Win32, you use it to enhance Win32. When using MFC you need to know both MFC and Win32 and you use both of them at the same time. On the other hand when you use Qt you can ignore anything related to Win32 because the Qt API layers itself over whatever is below.
Of course this has several implications, starting with that if you don't like Win32 then you wont like MFC either (and the reverse isn't necessarily true - you may dislike MFC while liking Win32).
