WTL - Windows Template Library

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-22 0:16

Is it a good idea to use WTL? Let's say in this situation you don't give a shit about Macfags or Freetards and/or don't want to use a shitty ``cross-platform" toolkit like Qt. You just want to develop a frontend for Windows.

Apparently Google Chrome used WTL for Windows. Other options: Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), Smartwin++, .NET (obligatory, but I think it's honestly better to use C# for .NET), or raw Windows API (lol nope). WTL is superior to these alternatives, right?

qt doesn't use native widgets, it redraws everything like swing. it tries to mimic native widgets, so therefore is only as good as the latest version of qt libs. I would rather rely on os devs than qt devs for longevity purposes.

also fuck moc. qt is useful if you are working on some enterprise quality shit, but not good for high quality programs, where you really should use native toolkits.
