## What it is
Terraform Landscape is a Ruby-based CLI tool that reformats the output of `terraform plan` into a more readable, colorized format. It works by piping Terraform's plan output through the `landscape` executable.

## Use cases
- make terraform plan output easier to read
- reformat terraform plan diff output in the terminal
- pipe terraform plan through a pretty printer
- improve readability of infrastructure change summaries
- colorize terraform plan results for code review

## When to choose
- you use Terraform 0.11.x and want clearer plan output
- you want a lightweight pipe-based formatter installable via gem or Homebrew
- you review Terraform plans frequently in the terminal

## When to avoid
- you use Terraform versions newer than 0.11.x, which are not supported
- you need a GUI or web-based Terraform plan viewer
- you want a full Terraform management tool rather than an output formatter
