and this is one of its best points. MFC is poorly designed legacy library that 
shouldn't be used for any new development. What else Express edition is 
lacking though is resources editor, which matters for those who want to 
visually edit dialog boxes etc. I suppose that there are modern GUI libraries 
for Windows that do not require resource files (maybe John Torjo's Win32 or 
SmartWin++ )
