I actually like how the Tk widgets look.  I've done some semi-industrial
applications with tkinter and they have a nice factory-floor vibe.

I generally just use pdb for debugging.  The feature I miss most is the
ability to trap to the debugger if the program throws an unhandled
exception.  I think some other Python debuggers do support that.  I've
found it invaluable in other languages.
