## What it is
gruvbox.nvim is a Lua port of the popular gruvbox colorscheme for Neovim, with treesitter and LSP semantic highlight support. It offers extensive configuration including palette overrides, highlight group customization, contrast modes, and light/dark variants.

## Use cases
- install the gruvbox theme in neovim
- customize colors of my editor colorscheme
- a retro groove colorscheme with treesitter support
- override highlight groups in neovim
- switch between dark and light mode themes

## When to choose
- you use Neovim 0.8+ and want the gruvbox look with treesitter and LSP semantic highlighting
- you want a highly configurable colorscheme with palette and highlight overrides
- you prefer a Lua-based plugin compatible with lazy.nvim, packer, or vim-plug

## When to avoid
- you use vanilla Vim rather than Neovim
- you want a colorscheme without any configuration or dependencies on newer Neovim features
