ah, only went to their website now, that's true, Pd's gui looks like it's still the same as in the original Max time at ircam. that's a pity, because the gui and roughness of the display is something that deters many people from joining in - or just thinking that the program is as bad as it looks.
I think a nice GUI, still simple but nice, could even help to read programs. Since it´s a "graphical programming language", the way it looks has to do with programming and readability too. Antialiasing, Bézier shapes, Bézier connecting lines... I don´t know about tc/tk, but there is also other free cross-platform tool kits like qt4.
