I sort of want the inverse of IDE features; I want VIM to support APIs to make it embeddable. I should be able to use VIM as a window _inside_ eclipse, visual studio, XCode, etc. VIM will simply never replicate the thousands of man-years of work that has gone into the IDEs. And if it did, all it would achieve is being an IDE just like they are already. But I think with a relatively small amount of effort it could publish a binary API spec that would let any IDE embed it's windows (like how Eclipse embeds Internet Explorer windows).
