wxWidgets uses gtk.

if wxWidgets is built without webview, this is just because
libwebkitgtk-dev was not installed. This is not a wxWidgets issue.
Using gtk does not fix this problem: if libwebkitgtk-dev is not
installed for wxWidgets, it is also not installed for gtk.

"That will be much easier an more powerful ui"

I don't know, and this assertion needs proofs.

wxWidgets is much more just an UI graphic library.

You also have to take in account internationalization and multi-platform
constraints.
