Ycm is in c, right? So is it faster?

Yes. It is not always faster though.

Deoplete is python?

Yes.

What snippet should I use with deoplete? Neosnippet? How is it compared to utilsnips?

neosnippet is better.

Is deoplete more like for windows or ubuntu?

In Ubuntu is tested well. In Windows is experimental and slower.

What languages is deoplete made for specially? Could It handle c language better that ycm?

Python and Go support is very well.
C language completion is better in YouCompleteMe.

You can test deoplete-clang or deoplete-clang2 though.
Or you can create it!

What is limit of lines that deoplete works efficiently?

Below 10000 lines are recommended.

What are general pros and cons of deoplete over ycm?

Pros:

• More configurable.
• No build is needed.
• Less memory.
• Less disk usage
• You can develop/add deoplete sources easily

Cons.

• C/C++ support is weak
• May be slower
• No jump feature
• neovim/Vim8 needed

Is it possible to use both plugins but use them for different languages?

For example, use deoplete with vim-go and gopls for golang but use YCM for c based languages.

You can disable deoplete in specific languages like this:

autocmd FileType c,cpp
\ call deoplete#custom#buffer_option('auto_complete', v:false)

Thank you. Between that and simply not building golang support for ycm
achieves what I'm looking for.

I don't know about YCM side's configuration.
