My main job is to write firmware for microcontrollers inside
microscopes (some of which have a 16-bit byte), but I also write tools
for desktop PC's -- mostly for interacting with the microscopes.
Anyway I've been using wxWidgets for designing desktop GUI apps for
about 15 years and I find it great -- I don't think I've ever
discovered a bug in it. I wrote a complex multi-threaded,
multi-language (i.e. English, German, etc.), network analysis program
that can be built for MS-Windows, Apple macOS or Linux. Whenever I set
out to write a new desktop GUI program, I always go straight for
wxWidgets. It's really easy to design the dialogues and widgets using
wxFormBuilder. I use the C++ standard library for threads, mutexes,
flags, locks. wxWidgets has some thread classes built into it (e.g.
wxThread) but you don't have to use them, you can use std::thread or
pthread_create if you want and it's totally compatible.
Since wxWidgets works for Linux, macOS and MS-Windows, I really
haven't had any reason to go looking at stuff like Qt or whatever.
