When NOT to use localforge
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- In scenarios where non-JavaScript development is primary, as the tool's strength lies in JavaScript context-awareness and interactive suggestions may not apply to other languages equivalently
- If your work environment strictly avoids local installations of software for security or compliance reasons, since localforge operates within a local setup
