Hi,

I think this is because unlike Tcl, with its definite Tk companion, there
is currently no concensus on *the* GUI tool for Ruby.  Someone has brought
this up before.  Tk seems not the first choice of GUI for Ruby.

In fact, if we all Rubyist's can agree on the GUI tool for Ruby and make
it really good, some people have committed that they will totally
leave Java and its Swing.... :)

Regards,

Bill
