## What it is
UltiSnips is a fast, feature-rich snippet engine plugin for Vim and Neovim. It supports placeholder tabstops, mirrored text, dynamic tabstop generation, and integration with completion engines like YouCompleteMe and deoplete.

## Use cases
- expand code snippets in vim
- jump through snippet placeholders
- create custom snippets for my language
- mirror text across multiple places in a snippet
- integrate snippets with my completion plugin

## When to choose
- you use Vim or Neovim and want powerful, fast snippet expansion
- you need advanced snippet features like mirrored placeholders and dynamic tabstops
- you want to pair snippets with completion engines like YouCompleteMe

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Vim or Neovim
- you prefer a Lua-native snippet engine like LuaSnip in Neovim
- you only need very basic snippet functionality

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors
- platform: editor-plugin, cross-platform
- tags: vim, neovim, snippets, text-expansion, tabstops
