Given how IMGUI is a bunch of branches with code that redraws the same pixels all the time, 60x per second, I'm still surprised this is considered very (if not most) efficient UI. It would imply retained-mode UI frameworks are strongly undershooting their theoretically possible performance.

There are also demos for other immediate-mode UI systems on the parent page (Nuklear and microui):

As I wrote in another thread, Immediate Mode UI doesn't imply how the UI rendering is implemented, only how the API works.
