vimscript over lua
As for writing plugins though, Lua beats Vim script any time of the day. I wrote info.vim back in the early days and it was a major pain to write in Vim script. If I had to redo it today I would 100% write it in Lua.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Yeah, mapping a function instead of a mapping is even better. I just don't like if a predefined mapping is hard to remember or (even worse) conflicts with one of my existing mappings. Personally I like it the way Neovim's LSP client does it: you get a Lua (or Vim script) API that you can map yourself. In my info.vim I provide the commands :InfoNext, :InfoPrev and :InfoUp, but I also have a code snippet of reasonable default bindings in my README that people can just copy-past into their configuration. If they disagree with my defaults they can then change that snippet instead of having to fight my plugin to scrub away the defaults.

Man pages in color, with links
I think we're all aware of the Man plugin, What I really want is info.vim being distributed by default aswell.

Future plans for Autotools
A wiki is not adequate documentation and I hate this trend of making documentation HTML only. Not everyone uses or even can use a web browser. GNU software has this great tool called Texinfo which lets you write a proper book-sized documentation with proper table of contents, chapters, and indexes. You can generate HTML, PDF, and most importantly info files. You can read info files in your terminal, in Emacs, or even in Vim (wrote a plugin for that).

What dev feature is available in emacs but not in the current mainstream IDEs ?
It is cool but not unique. vim-dirvish has existed for Vim since a long time.

main file explorer plugin replacement?
vin-dirvish fits your requirements.
-
Which file explorer do you use?
I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.
-
Managing your files. How do you do it?
There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.
