For some purposes it's much easier to just write a GUI and be done with it
instead of handling all kinds of user input and ending up with an ugly
program half the people won't want to use just because it doesn't have a
GUI. Ok, that half probably still won't want to use it if it's written in
Tkinter, but that's not the point :). 

For very simple stuff I like easygui (http://www.ferg.org/easygui/), a
Tkinter wrapper. It beats console style and it's just as easy to program
for (if not easier, since you don't have to check that much if the user
gave some stupid input).
