Well, true, but people tend to *use* the parts of the GUIs that are simple and basic. Not only do the big complicated apps get all the press even when they are actually a niche product (everyone knows about Photoshop, but more people use MS Paint) but it's a truism that most people use something like 20% of the functionality of big, complicated GUI apps. Most people use Microsoft Word or OpenOffice for little more than text editing with formatting.
True, but the most important thing is that those apps need to work and these days the portability of programs is also important for making them available to as many people as possible.
wxWIDGETS are portable and also pretty accessible for those who need to use screen readers which is not the case of purely native widgets as the Win32 GUI standard controls or the libraries like Tk, GTK or QT.
