Currently I am working on porting several large MFC applications over to Qt and it feels like... being tied up and whipped. So I would agree that you should stay away from MFC if you possibly can and even if you are doing windows stuff you should use XAML.

I have worked on MFC, QT, and wxWidgets . All of them are good, but for cross platform stuff I prefer wxWdigets over QT. The free QT designer is pathetic, whereas the wxFormBuilder is great.

Depends on your background and requirements.

If your other hobbies include being tied up whipped then MFC is probably for you.

If you are a recovering MFC programmer then wxwidgets is a very similar (but cross platform and nicer) alternative.

Qt is the current popular C++ gui library of choice. It's cross-platform, including a nice web-ish markup version for mobile phones, it uses more modern C++ concepts

Both Qt and wx are available under under LGPL type licenses and have bindings to a range of languages including python
