I would like to report that I learned about Wx::Panel and Wx::FlexGridSizer (for some reason, added to a Wx::BoxSizer) and got pretty good results from Wx.

My complains still hold that it's kind of silly, but I guess it's not too hard once you follow the tutorials. For no good reason I had to defined my own OnInit subroutine, two packages, and subs to get the values from my text boxes (you'd think that would be a default thing people did with text boxes on button presses). However, these were not that hard to copy or figure out and I can see why some people would prefer the wx method since you have to take more full control from the very beginning, while Tk gives you reasonable defaults out of the box.
