## What it is
The Symfony Standard Edition, a pre-configured skeleton application bundling the Symfony framework with Twig, Doctrine ORM, Swiftmailer, and common bundles. It was the traditional starting point for new Symfony apps but does not support Symfony 4 and has been superseded by Symfony Flex and the symfony/skeleton package.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a new symfony application
- symfony project skeleton with doctrine and twig
- legacy symfony 3.4 starter app
- pre-configured symfony with swiftmailer and monolog
- learn how a full symfony app is structured

## When to choose
- maintaining or extending an existing Symfony 3.x application based on this distribution
- studying a classic full-stack Symfony setup with AppBundle conventions

## When to avoid
- starting a new Symfony project - use symfony/skeleton with Symfony Flex instead
- you need Symfony 4 or newer, which this distribution does not support
- you want a minimal or microservice-style setup

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, templating, orm, logging, email
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: php, cross-platform
- tags: symfony, skeleton, starter-template, legacy, php-framework, boilerplate, web-server
