Here are my opinions on a scale of 0 to 9

Tk
portability   9 (runs on just about everything)
easy          5 (ugly code and bad API)
appearance    3 (normal on Win32, terrible on all others)

Gtk2
portability   5 (If the win32 version is completed then 9)
easy          9 (if you use Gtk2::GladeXML and glade-2, 7 otherwise)
appearance    9 

Wx
portability   9 (runs on just about everything)
easy          ? (never really used it)
appearance    9

Qt
portability   3 (unix only with out paying?)
easy          ? (never really used it)
appearance    9
