This is indeed true, but doing a quick check, these plugins use Tk nevertheless quite a lot, say 50 out of 200 plugins found in the real world, that is 1/4. Maybe the overall number is a little smaller, because I have already met plugins that had
import tkinter in the code, but did not use it at all. Many of them are probably rarely used or almost forgotten, but nevertheless they exist and they are the power of Sigil extensions.
If I find a free moment, I will prepare a broader overview, and a separate thread can be created related to the update of these plugins.
I won't do it soon, because I have a lot of work in the garden, but if we are talking about giving up Tk support it is probably worth thinking about it carefully.
