Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I've used it.
Standard painful build up a GUI a button/canvas/whatever at a time.

GUI programming is a royal pain in the ass when you don't have a screen painter / code generator.
New I want it really simple
At the level of "my $filename = show_file_selector_dialogue();" sort of thing.

If I'm going to get into anything more I might as well learn Java, C++ or C# and at least have something on my CV to show for it.

New Sounds like you need some Tiles
Yes, straight Tk does look, well, [link|http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/unix.html|outdated], but it can look like [link|http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/screenshots/windowsxp.html|this on Windows XP] when using the [link|http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/|Tile theme engine]

I've done a fair amount of Tkinter (Tk for Python) programming; it's been pretty easy for me. Tkinter has Open/Save dialogs, message boxes, etc, and there are higher level components available, at least for Python.

I haven't used Tiles yet, but in a week or two, I hope to give Tiles a shot to improve the appearance of some existing Tkinter code.

I may eventually move to wxWindows; it does seem faster and has a nice grid widget, but the learning curve is definitely higher.
