I tried to write a small (but non-trivial) Tcl app once[1], and would
happily vote to bury Tcl and then might even dance on its grave.
Tkinter, OTOH, is great for small, simple GUI apps -- with a few
caveats:
1. You have to grit your teeth because you know there's a Tcl
interpreter buried in the details.
2. When you package up a trivial Tkinter application using something
like py2exe, it balloons up to a ginormous size (way larger than
the equivalent app written using wxPython). I assume this is
caused largely by 1.
3. No matter how hard you try, Tkinter apps always look a bit
foreign. I've just given up trying to them to look like native
apps: it doesn't work, and it annoys the mule.
[1] After wasting several days fighting with TCL's quoting sematics, I
gave up and wrote the app in Scheme (and was done in a couple
hours).
