Tkinter actually isn&#x27;t _that_ bad.  I&#x27;ve written several fairly large applications with it.  You have to re-invent the wheel for several things due to its limited number of &quot;widgets&quot;.  It used to look very non-native, but that&#x27;s been largely fixed. Other than that, though, it has a worse reputation than it deserves.<p>Sure, I&#x27;d rather use Qt for something large, but honestly, for a quick-and-dirty gui, it&#x27;s hard to beat Tk.  You can get something reasonably nice looking (at least with recent versions) and reasonably cross-platform very quickly.
