## What it is
Vim plugin providing Elixir language support, including syntax highlighting, filetype detection for .ex/.exs/.eex/.heex/.leex/.sface files, and automatic indentation. It also integrates Ecto projects with vim-dadbod for running SQL queries.

## Use cases
- edit elixir files in vim with syntax highlighting
- get proper indentation for elixir code in vim
- make vim recognize .ex and .exs files
- highlight heex and leex templates in vim
- run SQL queries against ecto repos from vim

## When to choose
- you use vim or neovim and write Elixir
- you want lightweight, editor-native Elixir support without an LSP
- you need EEx/HEEx/LEEx template highlighting in vim

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than vim/neovim
- you want built-in formatting via mix format (explicitly not included)
- you need full IDE features like completion or diagnostics (use an LSP client instead)
