## What it is
AstroNvim is a feature-rich, aesthetically pleasing Neovim configuration framework written in Lua that balances out-of-the-box functionality with easy extensibility. It ships with a modular plugin-based setup, automatic LSP/linter/formatter tooling via Mason, and access to the AstroCommunity plugin ecosystem.

## Use cases
- turn neovim into a full IDE
- preconfigured neovim setup with LSP and autocompletion
- extensible neovim config that is easy to customize
- add language support and plugins to neovim quickly
- fast neovim configuration with file explorer and git integration
- replace vscode with a terminal-based editor setup

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included Neovim IDE experience without hand-writing config
- you value fast startup, modular configuration, and stable semver releases
- you want a large community plugin ecosystem (AstroCommunity) for adding language support

## When to avoid
- you prefer building a minimal Neovim config from scratch
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- you need a fully opinionated, non-customizable distribution
