Which one is better to learn. Which one will be stable over future???

If you want to integrate tightly with Gnome, I find GTK3 is a better choice. If you want applications to be cross-platform (Linux/Mac OS/Windows), wx is probably a better choice.

There are other alternatives, e.g. Qt, which is also cross-platform.

Exactly... it depends what you want to develop. If cross platform software is what you want to make then choose wxwidgets.

For my projects I use Gtkmm (GTK with C++). However I have no intention of being cross platform, so thats how I made my decision.

However I think from looking at examples wxwidgets looks like it might be easier to use. GTK will have the most stable future if that is your real concern.
