I don't think tkinter is a mediocre package. Tkinter is the python wrapper around tcl/tk, which is an award winning software by a great computer scientist and programmer.
The point is that it's a 30 years old GUI system and our standards have changed in these matters. We now live in the luxury of fast processors, huge RAM and great graphic cards, so tkinter looks a little bit outdated.
Another aspect, from the python programmer's point of vue is that tk is not at all pythonic, which makes tkinter programming look unnatural in the python world.
