Wx vs. Tk


When I started learning Perl I've made some scripts for searching files in a Samba Network (on Windows Shares). After I finished the console version of the program I wanted to make a fontend or a graphical user interface so I installed Tk.

I've tried to learn Tk but it was no use. Tk it seemed to me like a hard,confusing and ugly way to design an user interface. Furthermore the controls and the windows that i've managed to create looked realy strange and obsolete so I have gave up with my project.

Few months later I've heard about wxWindows and after some research I found wxPerl. wxPerl (or shortly Wx) is a new object-orientated way to design a graphical user interface in Perl. After I tried some examples and modified them a bit I've succeded in developing my project.

The question I would like to ask is why Tk is still supported and Wx is still unknown?
