I also prefer wxPython. Not for technical reasons as I haven't used
Tk beyond "hello world" and the facilities provided by EasyGUI (which
shields you from Tk itself actually), but because I don't like the
way it looks.
With Idle being written in Tk, I don't think a removal of Tk from
the distro would be a solution (even though I don't use Idle myself)
and providing both would be a waste, especially with wxPython being
very much a moving target. Regarding the docs: I don't think the
wxPython docs are particularly great as they're too C (I can manage,
but I'd rather not have to read a type declaration before a variable
name because it feels very unnatural to me, but the search
facilities are nice).
