widget::dialog tries to act like a proper dialog shell with some widget-like interaction and a lot of flexibility.  tk_dialog is a more limited dialog shell only (taking just a message and names of buttons).  Indeed, that's been replaced by the core tk_messageBox which is similarly restrictive because it delegates out to the native OS message box.
