* It provides better compatibility with STL (in addition to using the 
container with STL algorithms, which wxVector would presumably be 
complete enough to allow, it lets you pass e.g. wxVector<int> to a 
function taking std::vector<int>).

* VS2005 debugger understands (and displays in a usable way) STL 
containers out of the box.

* SWIG understands std::vector<> out of the box -- in theory, this 
should make it easier to generate wrappings (if they used wxUSE_STL 
for the SWIG run).

* If you used std::vector in your code, std::vector<T> and wxVector<T> 
would share the (non-inlined) code in compiled binary instead having 
two versions of it for every T used.

Vaclav
