Tk::MDI is very buggy

Seems to be true. I actually am playing with Tk::MDI at the moment as a possible solution to an app I'm building, and it seems to be somewhat incomplete. I'm not very much in favour of the tab metaphor over true MDI, though, so Notebook might not be the best option.

Tk itself is rather buggy and dated.

Now wait just a goddamncottonpicking moment there.
Tk is very stable, very much maintained, and is been in use in many places with usage ranging across the board, if you have a point, point it. Saying "Tk bad, Gtk good" isn't an argument. If you want, Gtk can be ripped apart as well (e.g. the recent GUADEC debate). It's a question of what you need, and what you want to invest to get it. And for its qualities, being: simple, perlish, available, and with many widgets to use, Tk is an excellent option.

Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.
We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.
