What does the Tk family lack to make "thrivable"? It doesn't have built-in resizable editable data grids, but that gap alone is not a show-stopper.

Qt is an application framework – it's much more than just a "GUI toolkit".
Tk is nice, but also small and very limited in scope, which is great for some use cases, but less so for others. It's like the difference between a desktop environment like GNOME or KDE, which do much more than just "manage windows", and a more basic window manager like i3 or the countless others that are out there.

Tk is a nice little GUI toolkit, but feature-wise it isn't even comparable to Qt in any way. Personally I started with Tk but it turned out to be too limited, so I switched to Qt.
