Dear ImGui is so easy to get working compared to other similar C++ libraries. For small dev teams using C++ that alone makes it super valuable.

I hate losing a day to figure out how to link in some crazy, clashing dependencies. Never had that problem with this library.

Over decades, I had developed an almost not-invented-here attitude exact because dependencies are always such a pita (oh Python hell) and drag in a lot of bloat. Rust is the first language I have used where external dependencies (from crates.io) Just Works(TM). However they can still drag in bloat :)
