wxWidgets or GTK+
I was curious if anyone has used both wxWidgets and gtkmm and if you have a preference...
Well, no one has answered this... so here I go.
wxWidgets is very simple, which makes it a little easier to set up and use.
gtkmm is honestly a pain to set up for use, but totally worth the power you get, and fairly straightforward to use.
Between the two I recommend gtkmm.

I don't use either. I stick with Win32 API for all my MS Windows apps, and FLTK for any cross-platform GUI dinkering I might need.
FLTK doesn't get much love from the wider C++ community, but it is the GUI framework that Bjarne Stroustrup uses in the uni C++ lectures. And is used in his book Programming Principles and Practice Using C++ 2nd Edition.

FLTK is a good idea in principle but absolute rubbish in practice, if you can get it to work, that is. It's like a GUI oriented CodeBlocks.
