Yeah, I just wish there was a nice/supported/reasonably capable GUI designer.... (and I'd love to be directed to one, having been unsuccessful in searching for one).
There are quite a few half finished GUI designers for it but I suspect they all remain half finished because the people who start in on them realize that such a tool will not get Tcl/Tk onto the level of QT or GTK and fights against what makes Tcl/Tk such a great tool. It is not about slick and highly refined UIs, it is about quickly and easily making functional UIs. You learn the sense and quirks of pack and grid and for applications which those simple containers work well for, nothing will be as fast or as easy as Tcl/Tk despite the lack of a GUI designer. Tcl/Tk is not for big complex UIs, it can do them but generally you will be better served by other toolkits for those.
tkcon gets you reasonably close to a GUI designer, it is text mode but instantaneous, and quite simple to configure the widgets to allow you to configure them with your mouse if you really want to do that.
I am probably going to have to break down and learn/work with QT or something similar for the graphical project I am planning out and have been searching for an environment for.
