WorkOS

From what I can tell the reason is that that’s the way it was always done. As I understand it, back in the days before there were distributed version control systems, Bram was the only one who could commit to the code-base so he would credit the actual author of a submitted patch in the commit message. He continued this practice after the Vim project moved to Mercurial (and Git).

One of the big ones for me was Wayland support in neovim-gtk (https://github.com/Lyude/neovim-gtk).
I've also seen neovim plugins written in fennel [0], so if you want something lispy, that's possible now.

Basically neovim can act as a client to a variety of different language servers (https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/doc/ser...) which give neovim IDE capabilities. This can be done in original Vim also but requires external plugins which can be a pain to compile and install. Neovim has it built in.
