Dear ImGui is excellent and is very handy to make GUI version of a CLI app especially if we want to interactively set values and see results.

It is fairly low level (deliberately) and that’s great to keep it simple. I wish there is a standalone GUI ‘framework’ which builds on these primitives and leans on standard library to make the experience a bit more nicer when building standalone applications.

I understand this is not the goal of Dear ImGui. I may give it a shot in a few months time if I don’t come across any such project.
