I'm not knocking the presentation. Tcl/Tk is still a very practical tool,
and the API is still a model of simplicity.

And my problem is not the language; any Tcl/Tk program could be easily
converted to a Tkinter program.

My problem is that, on Linux, Tk still looks ancient, and the core widget
set badly needs extending (I know about the gazillion 3rd party add on
widgets; that's just confusing IMO).  Also, fonts aren't anti-aliased in the
apps I tried.

It looks great on MS Windows, though, with native looking widgets
and anti-aliased fonts :(
