OK, I think I've found a page myself that others would direct me to:

GUI Building Tools
http://wiki.tcl.tk/4056

On the page I can see:

to gather into one place references and material regarding tools a developer might use to create the framework of an application with a GUI.

    * cbuild available in ClassyTk
    * cells
    * FriGUI
    * GRIDPLUS
    * GUIBuilder
    * Iplace
    * JTcl
    * JX Development Suite
    * Komodo - an IDE with a GUI Builder, sold by ActiveState
    * MetaGUI
    * MyrmecoX
    * SpecTcl
    * Spynergy Weblet Developer
    * TixXf
    * tkBuilder
    * TKproE, perhaps, in 2005, the most current of these
    * VAD
    * VisualGipsy
    * Visual Tcl
    * Wafe
    * xf

That's all. So I guess the following comment, ie, your recommendations, is
still necessary and even more anticipated and welcome. Thanks.
