Object Windows Library - Disadvantages

Disadvantages

• Not ported to Mac OS X, Windows CE, or .NET Framework.
• As most libraries based in C++ (MFC, wxWidgets, Qt), C++ language requires a learning curve.
• Alternatives such as VCL provide rapid application development (RAD).
• Windows API is not completely covered, requiring deeper knowledge of it.
• .NET offers a more object oriented, complete, and organized API.
• Significantly fewer users than MFC.
• Poor third party support in the form of books, web sites, articles and third party libraries (such as Codejock Software)
• No native support for JPEG or PNG files
