Arguably, no-one should ever have used MFC (speaking as someone who has been exposed to it since MFC 1.0). There were always better technologies around for GUI development, from Gupta’s SQLWindows and Borland’s Delphi to Microsoft’s very own Visual Basic. And nowadays we have .NET or, perhaps more MFC-like, Qt.
MFC itself was a series of hacks,and often wilful misuses of the C++ language. Of course, if you have a big MFC project, you are probably stuck with it.
