Tcl/Tk is ok for making GUIs. But one has to program too much to deal with maps. R is capable of lots more. It can extract and process information from maps, work seamlessly with almost anything. It is easy to use TCL/TK with the R engine...if you know both. There is lot of development going on in this area... especially for the making standalone programs using R and for GUIs for R. A.
