I don't enjoy writing in Tcl. If I were to use Tk today, it would probably be through Python's tkinter package.
IMHO, Tk interfaces look awful by default, but they can be made to look pretty decent if you're willing to hunt for (or create) a good theme. I have considered it a couple of times for trivial tool UIs, and I occasionally use one that someone else wrote.
That said, getting it to look native on multiple platforms would take more effort than I feel is worthwhile, and getting it to feel native (keyboard nav, etc.) even more so. Qt has this stuff built in, and a lot more.
