Exactly. MFC might not be a textbook example for perfect OO design - but it serves it's purpose very well: Creating real-world applications.

If you mean the managed extensions from VC++ 7.x here, you're right. However, with C++/CLI and VC++ 8.x, things will change notably. As for C#: Microsoft is currently positioning it against Java as a rather "academic" language - with C++ remaining the language of choice for real-world, industry-strength applications.
