WTL is a great attempt at creating a close-to-zero-cost C++ library around the Win32 UI architecture. I use it sometimes even today, and it's not bad considering the age of the foundations.

Do you use it in open source projects of commercial applications? If the former, I'd be interested in looking at it.
I think xplorer² is written using WTL.
Yeah. It was a very good start but as usual MS abandoned it before it could get really good.
WTL continues on as an open-source project, supporting the latest updates to Win32 API in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
AFAIK WTL is still being developed as an open source project by the same main developer who originally made it.
They never really embraced it despite it being used internally for several projects.
