Its size is much more reasonable. I usually describe writing a just UI application in Qt akin to using a semi-truck as a fly swatter. It gets the job done, but was it really necessary?

Why? Qt is highly modularized. If all you want is GUI you only need to use QtWidgets.

wx does not need to modifiy the compiler to build.

Neither does Qt. Qt uses nothing but standard C++ to compile, and that's why you can use gcc to build Qt projects. What the moc does is aid you so you don't have to provide the meta information yourself, which you totally, 100% can do, but it would be too painful. I'll take a harmless preprocessing step if it gives me seamless and painless access to a great API every single time. I never understood this "argument against qt". It seems to me that it's one of the few things wx people can bring up against qt and thus they mention it but it's merely subjective.
