Tkinter = Rodney Dangerfield?

Tkinter gets no respect. But IDLE's a Tkinter-based app and every
example I've Googled up shows Tkinter as needing about half as much
code as wx to do the same job. I'm beginning to Tkinter up my language
application. Am I making a big mistake?

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

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

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