Yes, Tk just works for gui and is underappreciated.
wx's default backend is gtk (2 or 3) and they have an experimental Qt5 backend now, which is unsurprising given GTK3's state. So wx doesn't help, unless you can make the Qt backend work (Qt5 is so modular that it's often a pain).
Tk is pretty and lean but I never felt comfortable using it in C code. A native C toolkit would be nice.

iup? It's uglier than Tk though.
For WM, I use i3. If you don't mind tiled, I'd highly reccomend it. It's great, the docs are great, and the config file is easy to understand, so after the base setup, you don't have to worry about it.
XFCE, TWM and sawfish are pretty cool, if you're not into tiled.
