This opion is from a very biased source. I use MFC using application and
class tool building helpers contained within Symantec C++ 7.0 and find that
the user intereface can be built quite easily totally within C++.

When you are done, you have generic portable C++ code (plus probably portable
MFC).  This method of development seems much more likely to be around in a 
year. Depending on other (i.e. non-microsoft) venders frameworks and 
applications my folly with today's volitile market place.
