Tcl and Tk are both absolutely brilliant for doing trivial things.

Once the complexity starts to increase beyond "hello world, click here
to exit", Tcl falls over almost immediately and starts flopping around
like a fish on a dock.  Tk hangs in there quite a bit longer and is
pretty useful as long as you've just got one main window and a few
dialog boxes.  IMO, it looks/acts native "enough" on Windows (at least
for the widgets I've used).  On Linux, it looks/acts "non-native" (not
GTK or Qt), but Linux users don't have an immediate brain sieze-up
when confronted with a slightly different UI, and they seem to be able
to use Tk apps just fine.
