There are some big challenges, here. One is IME, which requires storing intermediate state and information on the editing session, and communicating that with the platform; another is accessibility, which requires keeping a tree of elements that the user can currently navigate to, and which may include elements which are not currently on screen.

So yes, maybe okay for games, but I’m unconvinced about imgui for GUI applications of the sort described in this post.
