i think an immediate mode UI library would make sense if you want to render to a canvas or a similar "backend". maybe for things like games, or some interactive graphic things but if you want to render to the DOM —and you want to use the DOM if you want to have decent accessibility, or not have to reimplement all the complex user interactions that the browsers take care of— then i think an immediate mode framework might have a great impedance mismatch with the DOM, as the latter is a retained mode GUI model
