## What it is
Deoplete.nvim is an asynchronous auto-completion framework for Neovim and Vim 8, extensible via completion source plugins. Development has ended; the author recommends migrating to ddc.vim, though minor patches are still accepted.

## Use cases
- add autocompletion to neovim
- asynchronous code completion in vim
- extensible completion framework for vim8
- replace deoplete sources with custom completion plugins
- set up auto-complete in init.vim

## When to choose
- you use Neovim or Vim 8 and want a mature, plugin-based async completion framework
- you rely on existing deoplete completion sources
- you need Python 3-based completion in Vim

## When to avoid
- starting a new setup - the successor ddc.vim is actively developed
- you need new features or modern LSP-first completion
- your Vim lacks Python 3.6.1+ support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, plugin-system
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, windows, python
- tags: vim, neovim, autocompletion, asynchronous, completion-framework, linux, macos
