Here's an easy one: Python is portable. Tkinter is portable. I could code
a Python GUI on an AIX machine with a brain dead C++ compiler in half an
hour. I couldn't get wxWindows (the basis for wxPython) to compile on that
C++ compiler for 2 weeks. 

Sure, AIX machines are crap. But the beauty of portablility, is that you
can still code in the language of your choice on crappy machine.
