MFC.

What is MFC so hated? I can understand why somebody programming for linux would not like MFC, I can even understand why a borland fan would not like MFC. But somebody using MSVC and programming for Windows?? That does not make sense. Not if the only thing from the MFC library you are using is a CString, Ok I can understand that. Not much sense in including the library for a CString. I understand that MFC is a little bloated. But why do developers not like MFC? I have been seeing that a lot of articles being posted (outside the .NET crap) are MFC biased. is MFC really that bad? IMHO: C# a poor attempt at bringing C++ to the VB masses

Over time I have developed my own library of MFC derived classes to overcome deficiencies in MFC, especially in the collection classes.

For writing GUI apps, MFC is fantastic and I use it all the time. In the past eight years, I've written two UI applications not using MFC. One was a edutainment game extremely heavy in graphics and the other was a tiny applet that I wanted to make as small as possible (it's 40k) and was bored that day anyway. Unlike many of the vocal posters, I much prefer the MFC collection classes over STL (I really dislike STL.) I do have two collection classes of my own that I tend to favor over either even in MFC applications. (One of which I could have derived from an MFC class, but didn't since I also do lots of DLL and systems programming where MFC isn't applicable.)

i like MFC just fine. it does 66% what it tries to do. for everything else, there's the STL. -c
