I do prefer tcl quoting to bash quoting, but you do have some mental overhead when writing procedures, since unpaired braces inside quotes may do surprising things, if you're thinking "writing a command" rather than "raw strings". Comments are similar.
That being said, those are very much edge cases.
More damning, from my POV, is that you can't get ref counting of things like C objects or file handles, since they're just string handles. But there are a lot of uses that don't need that
