Gtk+

stable, rich graphic environment
access to print routines
easy access to Gtk+ Software (Abiword, WebKit …)
platform independent, but needs to be installed by the user
needs Gnocl for binding Gtk+ to Tcl
Gnocl has to be compiled by the user

Tk

limited graphic environment
platform independent without extra installation
direct access to native graphic routines (Win Api, X11, Quartz)
standalone scripts (tclkit and starpack)
