If Qt hadn't been taken up by KDE some other UI framework (such as wxWidgets) could've had much larger user base thereby rendering Qt much less attractive to developers and undermining their business model.

I personally prefer wxWigets over Qt, but I'm a user of both.

Does wxWidgets still feel like a 90's clone of MFC?

I developed MFC applications and wxWidgets is FAR better than MFC. Much easier to use too. Plus multi-platform.

Might be, I haven't look at it since late 90's.

So maybe it is worth another look.

However even OWL and VCL were better than MFC. :)
