I like Tkinter quite a bit.  I think it's relatively intuitive, and I 
like the Canvas and Text widgets a lot.

I don't like Tk because the widgets are ugly, old-fashioned, and don't  
have the right look and feel. But Tkinter is a good library, and a lot  
easier to deploy than gtk by example.

No, you're not. Tkinter is a fine way to code up an application. I 
prefer it, even using Tkinter for commercial software. See 
http://www.codebykevin.com/phynchronicity.html for an example.

Take another look. A year or so back Tkinter went to platform native
widgets.

I still use tkinter do to much less installation headache than wx.
