I've encountered some issues with double buffered windows using
wxWidgets, specifically with Cabel. See also:

In my experience using Csound on Linux, OSX, and Windows, I'd like to
voice support for the already existing TclCsound wrapper as being
attractive, simple to use, and providing minimal bloat. The idea of a
command interpreter seems very nice and for all intents and purposes
seems very portable. Also Tcl/Tk is relatively simple, arguably moreso
than Python/wxWidgets.

Aside from the inability to control GUI widgets created with TclCsound
using k-rate args (MIDI, OSC, et al) I find cstclsh to be excellent
for attractive looking cross platform GUI development.

We should not take for granted what is already implemented.
