    <p>I highly recommend the use of the <a href="https://www.qt.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Qt Libraries</a> for several reasons:</p> <ol> <li>The Framework is <strong>freely</strong> available for Windows, Linux, MacOS X, and a couple of mobile systems. Since version 4.5 the license is LGPL, which basically means that you can use Qt even in commercial applications.</li> <li>The <strong>design</strong> of Qt is out-standing, e.g. they use modern design patterns and a very consistent interface design (I don't know many other libraries that use object-oriented ideas in such perfection). Using Qt is the same as using Boost: it will improve your own programming skills, because they use such beautiful concepts!</li> <li>They are bloody fast, for instance in <strong>rendering</strong> (due to the different back-end for OpenGL, DirectX, etc.). Just have a look on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXS3xKV-UM0&amp;feature=channel_page" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this video</a> and you see what can easily be done with Qt but is hard to achieve with native Windows, Mac, or Linux programming.</li> <li>They have a really <strong>great documentation</strong>, with tons of tutorials and a very good reference. You can start learning Qt easily with the given docs! The documentation is also <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.7/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">available online</a>, so have a look and see by yourself.</li> <li>As mentioned before, Qt is <strong>cross-platform</strong>; you have one source-base that works on all the important operating systems. Why will you limit yourself to Windows, when you can also have Mac and Linux "for free"?</li> <li>Qt is so <strong>much more</strong> than "just" the user interface; they also offer network and database functionality, OpenGL bindings, a full-working web-browser control (based on WebKit), a multimedia playback library, and much much much more.</li> </ol> <p>Honestly, I wasted a couple of years by developing software <em>natively</em> for Windows, while I could have been so much more productive.</p>
