Context-dependence, and all that, make it almost a
silly question.  I've played along myself, though,
and almost two years ago identified <URL: http://

apart from the whitespace-dependence which seems
to deter some prospects disproportionately, the
language's "[g]reatest liability [is] Tkinter is
slow for some applications."
