I have been playing with Dear Imgui lately, and while its super easy to get up and running, I realized it doesn't have support for zoom (cmd +) and accessibility (unless I missed something).

It seems like those features are out of scope for the library - which is fair, one has to draw the line somewhere, and there are enough success stories with the project that it may not matter to a lot of the people. The author has mentioned in various places it's mostly for internal tools or game dev, which makes sense.

I am glad more toolkits are coming up (both for C/++ and Go, the languages I am interested in writing desktop apps with), but I am a bit surprised Qt seems by _far_ most mature compared to a lot of newer tools, not counting wxWidgets or glade/gtk3.
