Biggest benefit is if you ever move to Python 3 you cansimply change 
that line to

import tkinter as tk

and it carries on working (or at least until you hit some
of the other renamed modules!)

But also if you ever get to use Tix, because it is a
superset of Tkinter so you can just change to

import tix as tk

and it keeps working but you now have access to all the
Tix widgets too.
