MFC

Most things (but not all) are a lot easier with it. If you have been working with pure win32 api for the past year or so you won't have to learn everything all over again, and you can still use win32 api functions within an MFC program. MFC is really a heavy-weight wrapper around win32 api. If you want to write an MDI program then MFC can't be beat because the Microsoft compiler will generate a workable program for you in just a few clicks. I (or anyone else for that matter) can write a program with MFC in 1/4th the time that someone else will write it with pure win32 api. Sort of like the difference between writing a program with assembly or C language. Assembly is rarly ever manually used any more because it is a great deal faster easier to write it in C, C++ or other higher-level languages.
