Immediate mode guis let you structure your code differently than traditional libraries. (gtk, etc.)
It’s can be such a fast and light way to work. Get this thing done. And move on to the next thing.
To me it’s just a valuable addition to our toolbox and our quest to use the right tool for the right job.
