Those fucking assholes at RedHat/Ubuntu (upon which most other distros
are based) emphasize only GTK+ or Qt GUI tookits. The consequence
of this is that most other graphical toolkits remain largely unknown
and underutilized.

But check out TkMan:

https://tkman.sourceforge.net/index.html

TkMan uses the fantastic Tk/Tcl scripting and widgets which are extremely
versatile and include provisions for just about everything from text
editing to image manipulation.

Tk/Tcl is being ignored by these "modernistic" distro maintainers
(i.e. fucking assholes) in favor of GTK+/Qt.

Well, fuck them!

Get Tk/Tcl. Get TkMan.

Use it and shut the fuck up.

Note: TkMan, being last released in 2003, does not decompress xz
or lzma or bzip2 man pages. But there is an easy fix that any
competent GNU/Linux user can discover.

Are YOU a competent GNU/Linux user?

Haaaaaaaaa, heeeee, ha, ha, ha, ha, heee, heee, ha, ha, ha!

Typical Feeb hypocrisy, gushing about a GUI (cr)app while condemning
everyone else that uses them.

There's nothing fantastic about Tcl/Tk

Real men use assembler and Motif.
