The other thing I use Tk for at work is writing test scripts for hardware. Often the hardware has a serial port or an ethernet connection in it somewhere. Tcl includes serial port support, and also has an event loop that supports callbacks for both serial port and sockets. I don't think _any_ other solution beats Tcl/Tk for this type of thing. In a way, it's a shame so few people know about Tcl/Tk these days ...
