Since we're listing off a bunch of toolkits, I should pitch FLTK,
which is well-supported across platforms, reasonably featured, and
pretty lightweight (probably much smaller than any of the other ones
listed, in terms of dependency installs)

That said...

Agreed. I don't know much about Tcl/Tk, but I think that git-gui is
fine as-is. It's not very "pretty" compared to all of the fancy Gtk
apps the make up my system, but that's not an obstacle for me. (The
fonts are pretty bad, though)
