## What it is
ui-select is an AngularJS-native select box component offering search, multi-select, and tagging, serving as a replacement for Select2 and Selectize without requiring jQuery. It supports multiple themes (Bootstrap, Select2, Selectize) and keyboard navigation.

## Use cases
- searchable dropdown select for AngularJS forms
- multi-select input with tagging support
- replace Select2 or Selectize in AngularJS apps without jQuery
- themed select component matching Bootstrap styling
- keyboard-accessible select boxes

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS (1.x) application needing advanced select inputs
- you want a small (~4.5KB) select component without a jQuery dependency
- you need Select2/Selectize-like behavior with native AngularJS data binding

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with modern Angular, React, or Vue
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases and security patches
- you only need a simple native HTML select element
