I have been playing with Dear Imgui lately, and while its super easy to get up and running, I realized it doesn't have support for zoom (cmd +) and accessibility (unless I missed something).

It seems like those features are out of scope for the library - which is fair, one has to draw the line somewhere, and there are enough success stories with the project that it may not matter to a lot of the people. The author has mentioned in various places it's mostly for internal tools or game dev, which makes sense.

I am glad more toolkits are coming up (both for C/++ and Go, the languages I am interested in writing desktop apps with), but I am a bit surprised Qt seems by _far_ most mature compared to a lot of newer tools, not counting wxWidgets or glade/gtk3.

Very few C++ UI frameworks deal with accessibility or platform UX standards like zoom (ctrl +). You have to use platform/native APIs directly, or frameworks that seek to model them (which usually are not native).

It's not unsurprising to me that Qt is the most mature. It's the oldest, most widely used, and probably the most well financed...

Also, I can really see the appeal of electron now (from a development standpoint).

It really is Qt vs Electron if you want to ship a product that makes money - something I am paying for is expected to have a lot of these "features".

Yeah, I guess the key is the last part of your last sentence, heh
