Because it's a likeable language. It has a small, neat syntax, equally clever semantics, so people do stuff in tcl for fun.

I used to fix some bugs in Tcl/Tk program a long time ago and it was the opposite of "fun". But frankly it was about 10 years ago (and the program in question was ancient even back then) and I don't really remember much, and if it was a fault of Tcl, Tk, or the actual program.
Unfortunately, people often encounter Tcl in situations where there's nobody to explain it to them, so they learn it the wrong way.
