I have been a fairly devoted user of Gtk in my Python programs for about 20 years. Back then, it was a clean, simple, functional toolkit that just worked.

Dear ImGUI cleans Gtk's clock in the "clean", "simple", "functional", and "just works" categories these days, and I am currently porting my biggest side project from Gtk to Imgui.

If you are trying to "integrate with the (GNOME) desktop", I'm sure you should still use Gtk, but for most purposes I don't see the point. It seems from the outside like there are few core Gtk developers left, and they are basically in life support mode for an entire desktop suite, one that is stuck between two broken display engines (Xorg and Wayland) with no way to really fix things and every desktop Linux user expecting miracles.

ImGUI is just a busy dude banging away on a single toolkit, without the baggage of millions of nontechnical users to support. As a developer, I know which one is going to be producing the good stuff.
