Our own heavy-duty native C++ scientific application is built around the MFC framework. Despite our toying with several shiny new things from Microsoft over the last couple of decades, we somehow continue to see MFC and Qt as being the only serious contenders. Please keep all those MFC tips and tweaks coming. Your audience is still very much out there.

We have a program that needs a fair few code macros to generate boiler-plate. We simply define those macros only in cpp.hint and include that file to bring in the macros where needed. Of course we're only doing this to keep Visual Studio "intellisense" happy.
