Most modern books prefer grid to pack. I use both.
I normally pack the toolbar and status area top and bottom
and have a frame in between. Within that frame I use grid
for all the actual widgets etc. (I also tend to use pack
for managing the tools within the toolbar)

Scale widgets have their place, I've used them occasionally
programming MS Windows using Delphi and Java but never when
using Tkinter. But compared to Labels, Entries, Buttons
and Text widgets they are less common.
