Must be why I avoid those places :-)

I did once look at wxWindows (some time around Python-1.2), and
decided that it was never going to be a suitable tool for me.  I
have not been back there since.

Similar to my story, but I'm a slower adopter than you are.

The only cross-platform stuff I care about is between Unix
variants (which can be a challenge).
