wx isn't cross-platform like Swing/JFC, it's cross-platform like AWT.

From my limited experience with wx (wxPython, actually), some things
are different enough from other GUI toolkits that you may not want to
add it in to an existing project. (On the other hand, it would be a
great place to start for a new project where the developer doesn't
want to explicitly support Motif, GTK+, Win32, OS X, ...)
