It's very typical that Tkinter people who
try moving to other toolkits blanch and
retch at the "placing" they have to do.
Tkinter layout management is addictive.

This paragraph lost me.  Are you saying
your Tkinter source is longer because you
have to construct for yourself dialogues
which are standard in wxPython?  Are you
further saying that using a layout manager
in wxPython is *more* verbose than pixel
placement in wxPython?
