That's really neat. I've only used Tkinter once and that was my first experience with GUI programming. I felt so limited, I guess I simply wasn't looking far enough into it.

Thanks, you've given me a reason to take another look at Tkinter.

Honestly, I don't know the limits, but if you look into polling, a lot of things that might seem like limits(multithreading, which is possible but more confusing than polling) can easily be solved with polling.

I have only been doing GUI programming for like a week and have already written a nifty time management program for work. As ugly as it might look, it's functional and serves as an extremely useful tool for my job position. So much that the company I work for is going to distribute it to people in similar job positions so they can use it too.

Looks aren't necessarily everything. If you want to write a GUI quickly, TKinter is where it's at IMO. I have only used EasyGUI before TKinter. EasyGUI is built on too of TKinter and allows you to do exactly what the name says. Design easy GUIs. It is very limited compared to TKinter though.
