I think ultimately this decision will have two important factors. I mean what is your employer / local market using? What do you like?

Use VCF or wxWidgets then They are free.

Web dev wins by a nose, simply by managing to stay slightly less insane than Win32/WinForms. Frankly though, i much prefer dev that doesn't consist primarily of working around bad design decisions in the platform.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Good thing I am doing open source (government funded medical research) programming so its free for us. Being a long time MFC programmer who has written 500K lines of MFC I am amazed on how much better Qt is than MFC. Specifically its much better designed and does not suffer from a lot of bad decisions that were made decades ago. Also it comes with tons of functionality that I had to create for myself when using MFC (reason for many of those 500K lines...)

Maybe this is a blessing. I mean not being able to bring the work home. For me this was one of my motivations (years ago) for installing linux at home (so I could not use Visual Studio).

that doesn't stop me. I vm'd my entire work PC, so Intel compiler, MS IDE, Qt, et al). No I meant my work business at home has to take different directions. Which is not a bad thing, it makes it easier to keep the two separate. :)

Exactly why I do C++, C# and others. :) I am not greedy, but I don't turn away good money. Bad money, well, I can turn away. I haven't met bad money yet, but I just wanted to clarify. :-D

No. Browser incompatibilities are a pain in the... neck, but the various designs are no where near as infuriating as that big ball of mud we call Win32. Example: There are some ugly, ugly hacks in the various JS libraries, but they have a long way to go before they match the sort of insane stuff that happens inside WinForms or MFC.

I hope that I prefer web development more since 99% of the applications I write are in ASP.Net. I might enjoy windows programming, but there seems to be less demand for it. Business want web applications these days even when it doesn't make sense. No one wants to be updating client machines.

Which one you prefer, like or feel more challenging..
I probably prefer web development, due to the (slightly) better documentation offered, but I have occasions with both where I want to throw myself out of a third storey window..

does c++ has scope still?
I still code with it, although I guess some would argue that you can get more from something like C# more easily as its a higher-level language, but I'm not particularly a fan of .NET anyway. Regards, --Perspx
