    Tcl/Tk has got to be the easiest GUI system out there; you can get simple stuff going with no effort - nothing I've seen comes close to that simplicity.

    Good to see it's getting some modern support.

      What about oldschool Visual Basic?

        Too much rat wrestling. You could bang out a few lines of Tcl in your editor and have a working GUI. Even stub out the commands that widgets run, tweak and reload until it behaves right, then add those back for a working program. Absolutely nice for providing a visual interface for your Unix scripts or programs, or for building whole applications in if you're daring.
