Compare the wxWidget examples to the Qt examples and you can see a subtle difference. Qt seems less rough around the edges.

Opera's the first one that pops into mind.

Gtk-- is a quite nice C++ wrapper of GTK in C++. Since GTK is very object oriantated even in C, it manages to make good use of C++ OO. And, unlike WxWidgets, it was started with the STL in mind - it provides STL-like container functions (e.g. push_back for containers) and transparent conversion of standard containers and strings to the GTK equivalents (like the UTF8ized glib::ustring).

What say??

You can use wxWidgets from Python, C#, Ruby, Perl etc., see here for a complete list. Qt also has bindings in serveral languages, as this google search revealed. I also dug up the comparison of wxWidgets to other frameworks.

I too dislike the use of the STL in wxWidgets.
