I guess that many people miss features like drag'n'drop, pixmaps themes
and so on. I know that a lot of people used to complain about Tk's look
and feel and, compared to other toolkits, poor set of core widgets, which
however has been greatly improved with ttk in the core.

At least one famous "company" uses Tkinter:

http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-1045764.html

I guess that Tkinter has its place where reliability, stability and quick
coding count rather than on our home-pc's desktops, where eye-candy
rules :)

The same to you!
