I think that it is perfectly acceptable to continue using WTL, because of the support from the developer communites that use WTL, and the fact that you have the 20 header files that it is completely contained. So as long as WIN32 applications are in style, WTL can be in style as well.
I am currently working on an game written with DirectX and WTL. I have been able to do everything that I wanted to do so far. I needed a more efficient message pump object than the original one that came with WTL, so I wrote one and plugged it into WTL. Works like a charm. (I also wrote an article about it here on CP, called WTL Game Loop).
WTL has its place, if you are moving on to .Net then this isn't for you. If you are staying with client based applications on a windows PC, I think this is a great choice.

First Suggestions.....
How about a board on Web Services alone? I would say we could add a J# discussion board, but I think we all know where that would go.

Maybe a merge of Managed C++ with Visual C++ one would solve the problem. MC++ has only 500 posts, and eveybody is asking MC++ question in VC++ forum anyway
