Because of the inherent "everything is s String" mantra tcl/tk is to this day by far the best language to rapidly build GUI front ends for CLI applications (which generally spit out strings to stdout). In our company I recently ported some of the MS Access databases to sqlite + tcl/tk as a side project which turned out to be a great decision. Much higher reliability, productivity and finally versioning with git. I was impressed how quickly you can put together a GUI with tcl/tk. And they look really great on Windows and Mac. The default "Motiv" style look on Linux looks kind of dated though.
