For me, the crufty nature of Tk's Motif-style appearance was the major factor.
I used Tcl/Tk heavily in my 3D graphics class back in 1998, and while I enjoyed its light weight and ease of use, I felt that the GUI output was definitely old-school compared to Gtk and Qt, and had no desire to continue using Tcl/Tk after the class ended. It felt like the past.
