Agreed.

I have not looked at tk for a very long time, cannot comment on it.

I used to use wxPython but ported all my code to PyQt.
They took too long to get to python 3 support.

PyQt has far fewer platform specific behaviours that need working
around than wxPython does (did?).

It should be noted that the developer of PyQt does it as his job, so there is enough
work to keep him well payed.
