Well to be honest I'm not too sure on Linux but in the Windows world most
Tkinter apps are horrible and the only one that is getting close is IDLE
written by Guido et al.
wxPython is my bet.
The worst alternative is probably Java and it won't help with that Swing
thing they have because that will just make it even slower. I dislike Java
because using it feels like a completely new windows system.
