I like Neovim but I'm not sure their embedded vision is taking off.

You'd want their framework to end up in a very popular IDE for example, and that's just not happening.

All major IDEs will want full control over their editing component.

Because of that they won't implement "IDE-like" features such as a file explorer (I know there are plugins out there, plugin based systems are always slower and more brittle, both in the present and for updates), moving the command bar to the top, having powerful built-in fuzzy file finding, etc.

Perfect is the enemy of good, since perfect might never come and we could instead have good now or at least soon.

For file explorer and fuzzy finder, neovim does inherit netrw and vimgrep from vim. I use the netrw all the time and have never felt the need to install a file explorer plugin. vimgrep, less so since I have telescope with fzf and ripgrep, but it does exist!
