Primarily I don't program in C++ but based on my knowledge of Qt I think it's  more straight forward than GTK+ or MFC. If you are using it on Linux then you can use a tool called Qt designer to visually design your interfaces. I do not know whether Qt designer for windows exist, since the windows version of Qt is not open source. Although I once came across an open source implementation of Qt but it's not from trolltech (the company that created Qt). You can do a google to find more.
In a nutshell, I think if I'm a C++ programmer Qt will my GUI toolkit of choice.

Trolltech's QT is probably the best C++ GUI and C++ code abstraction toolkit out there.  It has graphics, networking, memory management, and just about everything you need and it weighed 800kb or so last time I checked.  It can also be statically compiled so you don't need to distribute any DLLs with your app.

What about QT is pissing you off?  Is it the price of the more important Windows version?

If u are programming for KDE/Linux, isuggest u stick with QT: it's quite mature and has a large user base. But if you are working on the windows platform you will have licensing issues to contend with. Unless u don't plan to write GPL'ed software.

no it's not like that but i have working gui applics written in qt ( on my slackware ), but as soon as try to run them in fedora, it doesn't work. As if that's not enough i tried copying the source <from slack> so i could compile in fedora but it still gave problems.

I know they might be different <minor> version but the both use qt3 so it should not be a problem.

And no i don't even have plans of using qt (or writing any application) for windows
