> A quick Google search with "flutter setstate is not refreshing" reveals a struggle that you will face quite often when running Flutter. It sounds like an easy fix, but the nature of Flutter using a bunch of nested Widgets creates, naturally, lasagna code that makes it hard to reason about this.

Can you expand on this OP? I've never had problems with `setState` nor "lasagna code" in Flutter. From a quick search I mostly seem to find questions from people who are still learning Flutter and getting basic things wrong.

State management in flutter can be done in so many ways so I get why it could feel complex, we’ve used Hooks a lot and it simplified a ton of stuff. Can also go the whole BLOC route too. Having issues with setState means you’re doing something that’s an anti-pattern

Yeah I think the point is that you have to become a state management expert in Flutter... even if the end result is not very complex there are so many options and so many pitfalls you still have to do a ton of thinking and learning to get there.

With egui you pretty much don't have to think about it at all.
