Need: not ugly as sin.

• davidw 16y ago
  Need: to look at what Tk looks like these days, not in 1998. Is it perfect? No. It has improved a lot though, and if you want cross platform, you're probably never going to get "Apple beautiful". You're going to get a jeep, that gets you where you need even if it's not as nice to look at as the Ferrari. Tk also screwed something up that PHP later copied in a certain sense: it made it really easy for people to do something. Many of those people were not "qualified" to create UI's and thus went on to make some really ugly stuff. Moral of the story: if you create tech that makes things significantly easier, lowering barriers to entry, try and foster a culture that helps create "beautiful" results.

    Do you know of any representative applications that show this off?
