I get the strong feeling that nobody is really happy with the state of

Tkinter is not widely liked, but is widely distributed. WxPython and

powerful, but quirky in different ways. PyQt is tied to one platform.
And there are
dozens more.
Yeah I have the same problem with washing machines, I usually end up in
one setting that works for me. But then again if Apple would make a
washing mashing with only one button that says 'wash' everybody would be
upset again because their favourite fabric does not have a special
setting and users would be confused whether to put in washing powder
before of after they have pushed the button.
And thats exactly not what the argument is about here. Including any
GUI in any language that satisfies everyone's personal tastes is
impossible. We are not trying to please X,Y,and Z. Nor or we are
secretly scheming to win "GUI Builder of the year awards.
Should ANY GUI be included in Python's stdlib, well probably not.
However, if you DO include a GUI it should at least be the "lightest-
weight-up-to-date-save-the-download-rate" GUI it can be!
Well that is tkinter than, it is reasonably lightweight and disliked for
different reasons by everyone equally.
