If your application is Windows specific and needs any sort of performance advantage, MFC is fantastic. Personally, I like the enhancements to it offered by CodeJock, but to each his own. People like to gripe about MFC because it doesn't have C++ purity, but who cares; it's fast and, with a few exceptions, stays out of my way (in what matters to me.)

On the other hand, for database front ends, ASP and UI applications where you are willing to give up some fine grained control, a little performance AND you are still Windows specific, .NET is the way to go. Some people here have advocated going the Silverlight route. I'm not a fan, but my work doesn't fall into the niche where Silverlight makes sense.

For cross platform, despite some its ugliness, including it's massive size and very annoying pre-compiler, Qt is probably the best bet. (WxWidgets is also worth looking into, but I'm more familiar with Qt and personally find it better going forward, though I could change my mind tomorrow.)

I do agree with a comment above; if you are just learning C++, don't bother with a GUI. Same with C#. Just use the console and try to keep the code as procedural as possible and build from there once you get the basic concepts down. To be honest, I prefer people start with C, but that may not be realistic today.
