I'll take the f****bait:
A) Active development and support? Same for Tk: Ever been on comp.lang.tcl or http://wiki.tcl.tk give it a try. There are too many people to count there, most of them very helpful. Plenty of active developers both using *and* creating the language and Tk.
B) What's wrong with extern "C" {}? Or just use a (god forbid) Tcl script to build the UI with a few lines? Forgive my ignorance, but there are dozens of Tk bindings to other languages than Tcl, how many does wxWindows have?
C) Ah, yes, the looks. That is a bit of a sore point, yes. On windows it usually looks just like windows, though and on unix you just copy paste about 100 LOC to make it look more modern. Mind you, the way Tk works, you only need to copy-paste, no need to edit.
