Neovim's language server integration is a killer feature that got me to switch.

Absolutely! I started using LunarVim packages+configs on top of neovim), looks like a couple of years ago according to my work notes, and the LSP has been a huge improvement in my editing.
Can you explain the benefit? I'm not familiar with the feature.
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.
