## What it is
Goneovim is a cross-platform GUI frontend for Neovim written in Go using a Qt binding. It provides modern editor features like smooth pixel scrolling, ligatures, animated cursor, and externalizable UI elements while running the full Neovim engine.

## Use cases
- run neovim with a graphical interface instead of a terminal
- use extra meta keys that terminals cannot capture
- get smooth pixel-based scrolling in neovim
- use font ligatures and per-window font settings in neovim
- manage multiple neovim instances with a workspace feature
- externalize tabline, cmdline, and popupmenu in a neovim gui

## When to choose
- you want a full-featured neovim GUI with rich drawing features like pixel scrolling and ligatures
- you need a cross-platform neovim GUI that works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
- you prefer GUI conveniences while keeping your existing neovim configuration and plugins

## When to avoid
- you only work in terminals and don't need a GUI
- you need a GUI under active development, since goneovim is now in maintenance mode due to Qt 5.15 end-of-life
- you want a lightweight editor without depending on a separate neovim installation
