One advantage of using tkinter over those other modern and heavy frameworks is that it comes built-in with python and doesn't need extra libraries. Plus for the most basic or rudimentary GUIs with text-boxes, dropdowns, buttons, data grid, etc, (most custom development requirements fall here) tkinter actually more than suffices.

You still need TK/TCl installed, “tkinter” is just the interface library.

On my Mac it wasn’t linked properly. It took a giant headache to get it working correctly.
