Firstly, do you know what Dev-C++ and wxWidgets is?

Dev-C++ is just an IDE. It's up to you to choose whichever IDE suits you best and which one you're most comfortable with. As for me, I uses MSVC. Although I do have Dev-C++ installed in my computer too.

wxWidgets is just a toolkit to make a programmer's job easier. You could develop software using wxWidgets, but you could also use the .NET framework. Choose whichever one.

I absolutely agree to red_4900.First, you must understand what exactly an IDE is (in fact you have to, if you want to do some serious job on developing).So an IDE is exactly what its name implies:an Integrated Development Environment.This almost always includes an editor,a compiler,a debugger,a linker,some libraries,to make programmers life easier.The early programmers/developers had a very hard time to find tools one by one and to combine them some way.
As a matter of fact,there is no "must" or "should" or whatever can imply a necessity, to use something specific.Depending on your preferred programming language/s and/or technologies and the kind of project you have to accomplish, there are many tools available free or commercial to get your job done.
Dev C++ is a great IDE( I use it too), if you want to do something around C/C++.wxWidgets is a great toolbox,to develop cross-platform applications in C++,with GUIs etc.You can check out the wxWidgets site at http://www.wxwidgets.org . So depending on your expertise, which apparently increases as you use them,you can do many great things with them.
Hope this helps
