Not Ideal For

• Teams requiring actively maintained and updated software, as the last stable release was in 2012 and it's not actively maintained per the README.
• Modern development environments that rely on easy package manager installations (e.g., apt, brew), since AST uses a custom NMAKE build system and complex setup.
• Projects needing seamless integration with contemporary DevOps or cloud-native toolchains, due to AST's legacy focus and potential compatibility gaps.
• Small-scale scripts or tasks where standard system tools are sufficient, to avoid the overhead of building and learning the entire toolkit.
