🧊Why learn Tkinter?

Developers should learn Tkinter when they need to build cross-platform desktop GUI applications quickly and with minimal dependencies, as it comes bundled with Python. It is ideal for prototyping, educational purposes, internal tools, or small-scale projects where a lightweight solution is preferred over more complex frameworks. However, for modern, highly polished applications, developers might consider alternatives like PyQt or Kivy.
