## What it is
A Vim plugin that adds CoffeeScript support, including syntax highlighting, indenting, compiling to JavaScript, live preview, running snippets, and linting. It integrates with plugin managers like Pathogen and Vundle.

## Use cases
- edit coffeescript in vim with syntax highlighting
- compile coffeescript to javascript from vim
- lint coffeescript files in vim
- live preview coffeescript compilation
- run coffeescript snippets from the editor
- proper indentation for coffeescript in vim

## When to choose
- you write CoffeeScript in Vim and want full editor support
- you need syntax highlighting and indentation for CoffeeScript or Literate CoffeeScript
- you want to compile, run, or lint CoffeeScript without leaving Vim

## When to avoid
- you no longer write CoffeeScript (the language is largely legacy)
- you use a different editor or a modern LSP-based setup
- you need actively developed features; the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, web-development
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
