company-mode is a modular in-buffer text and code completion framework for GNU Emacs, standing for 'complete anything'. It uses pluggable back-ends and front-ends to retrieve and display completion candidates, with built-in back-ends like Clang, Dabbrev, and a CAPF bridge to Emacs's standard completion-at-point facility.

Use cases

• autocomplete code in emacs
• in-buffer text completion for emacs
• plug custom completion backends into emacs
• complete anything while typing in emacs
• integrate lsp or clang completion in emacs

When to choose

• you use GNU Emacs and want automatic in-buffer completion
• you need a pluggable completion framework with many back-ends
• you want completion that works with any major mode via CAPF

When to avoid

• you use a different editor like VS Code or Vim
• you prefer Emacs's built-in corfu or completion-at-point-only workflows
