## What it is
LazyVim is a pre-configured Neovim setup powered by the lazy.nvim plugin manager that turns Neovim into a full-featured IDE while remaining easy to customize and extend. It ships with sane defaults, pre-configured plugins, and a starter template for users to build their own config on top of.

## Use cases
- turn neovim into an ide
- pre-configured neovim setup
- easily customize my neovim config
- neovim distribution with lsp and completion
- starter template for neovim configuration
- fast vim setup with sane defaults

## When to choose
- you want an IDE-like Neovim experience without configuring everything from scratch
- you want a pre-made config that is still easy to tweak and extend
- you value fast startup and lazy-loaded plugins
- you want sane defaults for options, keymaps, and autocmds

## When to avoid
- you prefer building your Neovim config entirely from scratch
- you need a fully turnkey IDE with zero terminal usage
- you cannot install Neovim >= 0.11.2 or its companion tools (git, ripgrep, fd, a C compiler)
- you want a GUI editor rather than a terminal-based one
