The wxWindows was created emphasizing the cross-platform development and
is a C++ binding toolkit.
So it isn´t shipped in any platform (like GTK is with GNOME or QT is with
KDE) and uses the natives widgets.
I think it could be easier for newbies or better for bigger applications
that will be used in many platforms... but I think it´s "heavier" cause
those features!
Another thing to say is there is more GTK developers and gtk applications
developers than in wxWindows... so you have more support using GTK!

GTK and GTK+ are the same...

GTK is a native toolkit, cause it drows its own widgets...
wxWindows is a wrapper toolkit cause it uses the native widgets.
