Most prominent Tkinter applications?

I'm looking for examples of "best practices" in Tkinter/Python
programming. What are the most prominent Python applications out there
that use Tkinter as the GUI toolkit? These can be commercial or
open-source, but are preferably multi-platform.

I know IDLE is written in Tkinter, so that's one example. Can anyone
direct me to others?

Leo <http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html>, an outlining
editor, uses Tkinter.

It's at least as prominent as IDLE ;-)

I use this TKinter app almost everyday. Great simple GUI and looks good
too.

No idea whether it should be counted as "most prominent" (whatever that
means), but Skencil is a really impressive vector drawing program:

At least until a while ago it was using Tkinter, the website talks about
a port to GTK, though.
