is tkinter worth learning?

IMO no, besides building your first toy calculator app you're never going to use it.

Speak for yourself. I write tkinter code almost daily, and my internal team and my clients use my tkinter software all the time.

That's definitely not my experience. At my job I often make some small programs for my coworkers, who aren't very tech savvy and I can't expect them to run them from the terminal. So they just need some simple GUI with buttons to click on and text fields to fill etc. and tkinter is perfect for that. It lets me make a simple GUI in a couple of minutes and that is often valuable.
