What parts of Tk are you having trouble understanding? I only know Perl Tk, but I do know that it is _extremely_ powerful. There are a few counter intuitive (for me) constructs, but once you catch on to the syntax things aren't too bad. I don't know if any of the other GUI's are more powerful, but I have yet to find a GUI task that I want the computer to do that Tk can't accomplish.
As far as speed is concerned, my applications are heavily into file access, which is what really eats up time. I don't think using Tk vs another GUI will make much difference in operating speed if you do much I/O The book "Mastering Perl/Tk" by Lidie and Walsh is, unfortunately, written very poorly. It's quite disorganized. However, buried in its nooks and crannies is all the information you need. It's just too bad that the authors go out of their way to make some simple ideas unnecessarily complex. A few suggestions: I almost always use "form" rather than "pack" for positioning an object - it's much more powerful and, for me, more logical. "Grid" is also very useful for presenting tabular material. I usually use "grid" with a "Scrolled Pane" rather than the gibberish.
