Yours truly and many, many others. I do not actually use MFC as I only use C++ for servers. GUI things in my case go to Delphi/Lazarus. There is a whole world outside of that web juggernaut.

Delphi! Whaaaaat a surprise !

I still miss MFC/windows programming a lot, I think in many ways it's quite efficient.

But for job seeking it's not a good idea, opening for windows gui is quite rare.

Maybe I should setup a web(!!) For lonely job seeker on windows programming / and Delphi/lisp/scheme / all other good oldies forgotten by rest of the world.

Delphi is quite popular still in Europe. Also it is not just Windows. Delphi/Lazarus produce exe for all the major platforms. I was doing some GUI app for Raspberry Pi and I had Lazarus IDE running right there, along with debugging and all other goodies. Also I mostly develop products and are on my own since 2000. Not much concern on my side about what all those big cloudy companies think. Eff them ;)

Where do you see MFC? This straight up uses Win32.

Win32 in assembly. Serious commitment to minimalism right there.

What's MFC to do with this?

MFC programs look like Win32 programs. You often can't tell the difference from a screenshot.
