If he was a "top-notch programmer" like you, he wouldn't be asking this question here.

Hah - do you think the more advanced coders never ask for help or advice?

To compare using Tk to using Windows,Qwerty, and PhP; shows a bit of ignorance on your part.

It would, but I didn't compare Tk to Win, QWE, PHP. I thought the reasoning was flawed (quoted text, not thread, provides context) and mentioned some things that are used for the same reason. (Which by the way does not mean I do not think Tk sucks.)

I suppose we should tell the OP to dump Perl too, since Python is "more advanced" in it's design? Perl still stands strong, because it makes things easy to do, as does Tk.

If Perl is the inferior technique, yes, I do think we should advice against using it. But it is not, and Python has syntax that stands in the way of trying out their nice design (for me, at least). Besides, I stress again that I did not say the suggestion of using Tk was a bad one. Doing something because other people do it, isn't a good reason (even though most humans do mindlessly follow the flock).

....Tk is solid, active, and moving forward day by day, just like Perl.

It is indeed. I never said it was not. Do not put words in my mouth.
