FWIW, some people may find this page interesting, which gives you an
idea what "standard" Tk looks like on OS X, and then with adopting the
"tile" extension to Tk and a few other tweaks, which is on its way to
becoming a standard part of Tk:

There's other info and various screenshots at:
http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/index.html
I think the message is, Tk has been moving forward in a coherent and
focused way (finally) in terms of look and feel, which will certainly be
of great benefit to Tkinter.
