Or if you want to use a simple text editor such as Notepad.exe then you should be writing HTML code, not C or C++.
Actually, I do write programs with user interfaces in emacs IN Linux. I use gtkmm, and fltk. They are extremely easy to use, understand, and I don't need to constantly check back through documentation which means that I can spend more time doing what I am actually doing. It is with my experience easier and faster to use these set of libraries then it is to use MFC or Win32. If you honestly think that there are no set of GUI libraries that are easy to use with C++ then you should really check out what is being mentioned, it will help you.

Its really all a matter of gaining experience. gtkmm, and fltk may be easy for you to use because you have learned how to use them. MFC is (pretty much) easy for me to use for the same reason. I don't have to look up everything in MSDN any more either, but I'll bet we both had to do that when we first starting learning the libraries. So I think is not really a matter of "which is better, MFC or gtkmm", but of which one you want to spend a lot of time (in terms of months) learning. MFC has about a one year learning curve to learn it well. I have no idea about gtkmm and fltk.

That may be true, but you should know that I had been using MFC exclusively for the past 3+ years...sigh... I had only found out about fltk and gtk within the past few months.

Could it be that I've been suckered (brainwashed) by M$ into thinking MFC was a great product :mrgreen: I write a lot of code for WinCE 5.0 so there isn't much choice for me.
