Well then explain why Windows still ships with that god awful windows
explorer? Tkinter IS Windows Explorer. Antiquated, legacy, bloatware.
And it need to die!


But this misses the entire point. We are not trying to please everyone

Python relevant in the 21st century. Continuing to lug Tkinter around
is killing Python's evolution.
