Not to talk about the other side of the holy war too much, but one of the things I appreciate about GNU ELPA is it's treated as part of the Emacs distribution and needs to follow all the rules of Emacs proper as a result.

I’m also pretty sure that on an episode of The Standup, one of the Neovim core maintainers TJ DeVries (Teej) said that it is a good idea to prove new ideas in the form of a plugin rather than submitting pull requests for Neovim itself with new ideas that have not yet been tested out and proven in the real world. Implicitly implying that indeed Neovim is open to bring features from plugins into core Neovim itself, if they are proven to be useful for a lot of people.

Unfortunately I don’t remember what episode it was or even if it was specifically on an episode of The Standup, or if it was some other video that he and ThePrimagen did outside of The Standup.

Multi threading, but yeah.

Would be nice to also have such support for DAP, though nvim-dap is doing a good job so far.

I think what they did with first-party support for LSP would be an example of this.

However, Neovim explicitely states that they don't want to turn VIM into an IDE. The feature parent is talking about seem to be falling into that type of vertical integration instead of composability.
