Perhaps that's your problem ;).  Tkinter was the first--and only--GUI
toolkit I learned [1] (I do almost exclusively CLI, and GUI only for fun --
and I program as a result of the work I do).  Having no previous knowledge
of any other GUI toolkit (and really only writing 2 or 3 _real_ GUIs
total), it wasn't hard to pick up enough from effbot/stackoverflow/tkinter
documentation to get a working GUI with (what I think is) decent code
organization.

Just my personal experience.

[1] Tkinter is part of the stdlib, and I try to minimize external
dependencies
