wxWindows vs. MFC

EvanED queries: I'm going to devoloping a chess program, and was until a couple days ago planning to do it in MFC. But then I ran across wxWindows. I think it would be cool if it were able to run under Linux. (At the moment, I do not have Linux on any computer but will as soon as I get my own machine.) Do the benefits of supposed cross-platformness outweigh the drawbacks of having to learn a new system and not having all the (incredibly wonderful) automatic code generation features Visual C++ provides for MFC programs? Or would it perhaps be better to write it in MFC since I am reasonably familiar with it then port it to wxWindows?"

Develop in Python, using wxWindows

I can pretty much guarantee that you will be more productive and have your product out the door faster, event if you need to ramp up on both Python and wxWindows.
