I'm so happy to know this exists because every single cross-platform UI toolkit I've used in the past few decades is more complex and weird.
(Not that GTK1 can't be complex and weird, more that we've lost the art of creating native GUI toolkits that make sense.)
It's mostly because we have different aspects ratios and resolutions now, but also things like accessibility play a role. You're happy to use simple UI toolkits, but you'll very quickly realize it doesn't look good when someone resizes the app
Tk usually looks good when resizing the app. Much better than any of the quintuply queued and buffered windows stuff anyhow
