## What it is
A Neovim plugin providing a graphical user interface for nvim-dap, the Debug Adapter Protocol client for Neovim. It renders debugging elements such as variable scopes, threads, stack frames, breakpoints, and a REPL in configurable window layouts.

## Use cases
- show a visual debugging UI in Neovim
- inspect variables and scopes while debugging
- view stack frames and threads during a debug session
- manage breakpoints with a UI
- interact with a debug REPL inside Neovim

## When to choose
- you debug in Neovim with nvim-dap and want an out-of-the-box UI
- you want configurable element layouts and floating windows for debug info

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- you prefer purely command-line debugging without UI windows
