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?
