For everyone asking for more IDE features...that's literally a non-goal for Neovim:

Neovim aims to be extensible and enable plugins to do amazing things, but also be minimal.

There are many projects that use the rich set of plugins to provide IDE experiences (LazyVim, AstroNvim, LunarVim, etc).

I like those goals, and some of the new features seem to contradict that mentality.

E.g.: the commenting feature in core. This could perfectly well be done by extensions, and it the kind of thing that doesn't feel like it should be in core at all.
