Yes, it's relatively mature (to the point where GIMP runs quite happily
on it). But it doesn't have native look and feel. I personally don't
believe this is a problem. But others do.

Such as? I always thought the Tk text widget was quite straightforward.
Just appropriately tag the sections you want to work on, and it pretty
much does the rest for you. For what you've asked, I'd probably say
TkPerl is the way to go. If it were me doing it, I'd you something
(pretty much *anything* :-) other than perl. But Tk is almost certainly
your best bet. Use it with whichever language you feel most comfortable.
