It might be a good idea to list the problems with tcl/tk so we can weigh them against the difficulty of using a different GUI toolkit. The problems I see are:
- difficult to implement a decent zoom function for a canvas
- can't display png without the Img library (included in 8.6)
- can't do alpha transparency
- you have to write ugly code ?
Could you expand on that?
1- there was a touch of humour in that sentence.. 2- tcl-tk is a bit too procedurial for my taste (without any extensions I mean). just look at Qt or ruby-qt or python-qt and I'm sure you'll know what I mean. 3- I always found tk GUIs really ugly (but maybe that's just me)
again, my 2 cents,
