Of all MVC-capable GUI toolkits, which one do you think has the best spefication and which one the most drawbacks ? In which one do you find your code easy to maintain and extend? Which is one do you find crippled (if any) and for what reasons ? I' m mainly interested in Qt and Cocoa but i would like to hear about others too.

Thank you.

A: 

I've been pretty impressed with Cocoa since I started using it. The frameworks make good use of design patterns and encourage (almost force!) a good MVC design. By contrast, I spent a while using wxWidgets (C++), which did the job, but is an absolute mess under the hood, and had lukewarm support.

Adobe Flex hands down is by far the best MVC based platform I have worked with and I have used all the usuals, like .net and wpf, Cocoa, etc. All of them pale in comparision to Flex 4.

Flex 4 itself is MVC based? I've done quite a bit of v3, in which we used Cairngorm for MVC, or some would say mVC, but I haven't had the opportunity to try 4 yet. How is the MVC implemented?
