## What it is
Gotraceui is a native desktop application for visualizing and analyzing Go execution traces, serving as a faster and more powerful alternative to go tool trace. It is purpose-built for Go's runtime, understanding goroutines, garbage collection, and scheduler relationships, with intelligent search, filtering, and navigation.

## Use cases
- visualize go execution traces
- analyze goroutine scheduling and blocking
- debug latency caused by garbage collection
- find why a goroutine is stuck or slow
- explore millions of trace events interactively
- replace go tool trace with a faster frontend

## When to choose
- you need to inspect Go runtime traces in depth
- go tool trace is too slow or limited for large traces
- you want a native cross-platform GUI instead of a browser-based viewer
- you need Go-aware analysis of GC, goroutines, and the scheduler

## When to avoid
- you need to trace languages other than Go
- you only need simple CPU profiling rather than execution traces
- you require a headless or automated trace analysis pipeline
