I used wxWidgets a lot a couple of years ago when contributing to a midi sequencer. My opinion is that there would be no gain in converting any GTK project to wxWidgets. GTK is already cross-platform. wxWidgets uses GTK as its native peer set. Thus, wxWidgets is a subset of GTK, widget-wise anyway. Starting a new project from scratch is a slightly different story. > --=20 Joakim Verona
