The nice thing about wxWidgets is that on each platform, it's is a layer between the program and the native GUI. Qt, on the other hand, uses its own widgets, IIRC.

It just so happens that I'm using wxWidgets now. I prefer Cocoa, but wxWidgets seems pretty well designed. If you use Cocoa (or Carbon), you get to use Interface Builder. If you use wxWidgets, you don't.
