## What it is
blink.cmp is a performant, batteries-included autocompletion plugin for Neovim supporting LSP, cmdline, signature help, and snippets. It features a typo-resistant fuzzy matcher (Rust or Lua), pluggable sources, and works out of the box with sensible defaults.

## Use cases
- add autocompletion to neovim
- replace nvim-cmp with a faster completion plugin
- get LSP completion with snippets in neovim
- typo-resistant fuzzy completion while typing
- complete command line and buffer text in neovim
- use nvim-cmp community sources with a modern completion engine

## When to choose
- you want fast, low-latency completion in Neovim with minimal configuration
- you need built-in LSP, buffer, path, and snippet sources
- you want typo-tolerant fuzzy matching with frecency/proximity scoring
- you're migrating from nvim-cmp and want sensible defaults

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- you rely on a highly customized nvim-cmp setup and don't want to migrate
- you need shell completion sources (not yet available)
- you want a fully stable plugin and can't tolerate V2 breaking changes
