the biggest difference is probably that with Gtk2, you have a fighting chance of writing tidy code. Tk is really effective at making the application source code incredibly ugly. I know that’s not much help :-), but I don’t really have much to add to what has already been said about the technical differences. Gtk2 and Tk represent very different ways of doing the same thing. Tk is easier for small stuff, but it gets nasty very quickly. Gtk2 has more explicit indirection, so there is more coding overhead, sometimes a lot more; this is particularly noticable in small programs. However it makes it easy to divide the code into pieces that have exactly one responsibility, which makes it tremendously easier to write large programs with less code and cleaner code than Tk allows.
