## What it is
Ember CLI is the official command line utility for the Ember.js framework, providing project scaffolding, a Broccoli-based asset build pipeline, a development server with live reload, and blueprint-based code generators. It also includes a powerful addon system for extending Ember projects and built-in test support via Testem.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new ember.js application
- generate components and routes from blueprints
- run a dev server with live reload and api proxy
- build and transpile es6 assets with babel
- run unit integration and acceptance tests
- install and manage ember addons

## When to choose
- you are building or maintaining an Ember.js application
- you want convention-over-configuration project structure and generators
- you need an integrated build, dev server, and testing workflow for Ember

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Ember.js framework
- you want a minimal unbundled setup with your own build tooling
- you are building a non-JavaScript or non-web project
