Yes, others do. Vehemently.
Let me charitably interpret this as "Tcl/Tk is _perceived_ as being old
news by the 'oh it's new, shiny' crowd."
With the advent of tile, Tk widgets in Tcl evel look like windoze, no that
that's necessarily an endorsement.
Me, I like SW that works and scripting languages that are fast,
expressive, easy to write, maintain, and scale well. And did I mention
truely cross-platform?
You didn't mention one that have stood the test of time and have a long
history of working.
I too have used Tcl/TK and have used Perl with TK and very much liked
it. I've never understood the "It's newer so I have to use it." crowd. I
prefer "It's proven to work and has a long history of doing so."
