Despite the problems, Tkinter is stable, flexible, and provides a modern look-and-feel if you use the tkinter.ttk package and its themed widgets. Also, some of the original widgets, like Canvas and Text, are incredibly powerful. You can turn a Canvas object into a simple drag-and-drop drawing application in a matter of hours. Tkinter and Tcl/Tk are definitely worth a look if you are interested in GUI programming.
