What is BC?

BC = typo for CB, i think. Anyway, here's my personal interpretation for why we use wxWidgets instead of QT.
wxWidgets is portable to many platforms, and it uses the platform's native widgets when possible, which makes a good cross-platform implementation, at least for Windows. Windows users shouldn't be asked to install X, Y or Z widget library separately before installing a program - and when they do, the end result isn't exactly pretty. I believe that choosing wxWidgets as the widget library was a key factor in making C::B a success.
That, and considering that in its beginnings, C::B was a Windows-only program, wxWidgets was the only practical choice.

And maybe you could ask GIMP devs why they use GTK and not KDE, and maybe you could ask inkscape developers why they use GTK and not KDE... and maybe i could ask you why you're starting yet another GUI toolkit flamewar instead of using KDevelop or bearing with GTK

Hello,
personally, I like both wxWidgets and Qt, even if I am more experienced with the latter. If I have to chose one of them for a given project/task, I will look at its requirements and at my skills and knowledge on the "GUI" tool.
Also I think that this question has been asked already somehow :). Just make a forum(s) search.
Best wishes,
Michael
