My experience of Tk is that it's not actively maintained, contains some
annoying bugs and is quite limited in many areas. For example, you
can't write GUIs in a UI designer like Glade or Qt Designer. So I
wouldn't recommend it to anybody writing new code (except maybe for
very simple cases, but then why not use a modern toolkit anyway?).
