I think I like immediate mode GUIs over retained mode GUIs for the same reason I like procedural programming over object oriented:
State and behavior are separated, you define state, and then define functions to act on that state, instead of grouping all the behavior to specific pieces of state

Did you know that all the generators on the power grid are spinning in sync with each other? The grid has a heartbeat and each and every machine connected to it must follow the rhythm.
This includes the machines in your home! Your buzzing fridge compressor is beating in time with the same heart.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
