ImGui is mainly used for debug rendering, but if you browse the screenshot threads, there quite a few 'end user applications' among them:

No, it's supposed to be used for this purpose.

> Dear ImGui is designed to enable fast iterations and to empower programmers to create content creation tools and visualization / debug tools (as opposed to UI for the average end-user). It favors simplicity and productivity toward this goal and lacks certain features commonly found in more high-level libraries.

It's literally not designed for end user consumption.
