Cons
Con Base looks are garbage without a good amount of styling
Going with the base look for your app is a bad idea because it looks like garbage with the defaults.
Con C# support lacking
Although the Eagle Project exists, which offers Mono and .NET Core support, C# support is not standard.
Con Strictly C++
Con This is an application development framework not simply a GUI toolkit / library API
It is designed for you to develop your whole application using it, not just your GUI. Most people probably are not really looking for that.
