## What it is
neocomplete is a Vim plugin providing an auto keyword completion system with caching, successor to neocomplcache. Development has ended; users are directed to deoplete.nvim or ddc.vim instead.

## Use cases
- auto-complete keywords while typing in Vim
- get smarter completion than Vim's built-in omni completion
- cache buffer keywords for fast completion
- customize completion behavior in Vim
- use completion on older Vim versions with Lua support

## When to choose
- you are stuck on an older Vim (7.3.885+ with Lua) below 8.2.1066
- you maintain a legacy Vim setup already using neocomplete
- you need a lightweight keyword completion plugin without async support

## When to avoid
- you use Vim 8.2.1066+ or Neovim (incompatible; use deoplete or ddc.vim)
- you want actively developed completion with new features
- your Vim build lacks Lua support

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, autocompletion, keyword-completion, deprecated, lua
