| UI library stores minimal amounts of data. At one point in time, it typically doesn't know or remember which other widgets are displayed and which widgets are coming next. As a result, certain layout features (alignment, resizing) are not as easy to implement or require ad-hoc code. | UI library stores entire widgets tree and state. UI library can use this retained data to easily layout things. |
