I choose wxWidgets over Qt because of the license as I wanted to statically link into a single executable (it's my Delphi background leaking through 
)
Also I only use a limited amount of stuff from wxWidgets (mainly zip, png and filemonitoring), and none of the supporting stuff like strings, lists etc as I like to write those myself as part of the hobby aspect of LDCad.
I do believe wxWidgets delivers truly native dialogs though, including the file browser one on Windows.
I won't expect people to jump on and start coding as understanding 155 thousands lines including many custom utility classes might be a bit time consuming
The main thing I hope to get from Open Sourcing is a broader range of supported os's as people can compile it themselves if none of the pre-compiled versions suit their needs.
