I won't dispute the other points but Tkinter is better documented
than any other Python GUI toolkit IMHO. Not only does it have the
Pythonware web site, it also has a book by Grayson and all the
Tcl/Tk documentation(books and web sites)

I'd argue that the amount of documentation for Tk (and thus
Tkinter) exceeds any GUI tookit other than X or Microsoft's
various efforts.
