Its main feature for me is Lua support for plugins and scripting. It also has some nice features like Language Server Protocol integration that can be helpful for using it as an IDE, but the Lua support was the main draw for me.

LSP is pretty nice in vim too .. I use Language tool all the time and Rust Analyzer here and there ..

The primary reason I didn't move to neovim is there is so much support for vim ... I guess all those will be applicable to neovim too but didn't feel like worth the effort ..

I need to check what Lua brings to table !

The main draw of Lua for me is I don't really want to learn vimscript, but I do enjoy using vim and neovim, so Lua lets me contribute to plugins in a language I actually don't mind picking up. It may not be my first choice, but it's actually used outside of vim, so it feels like a much more useful skill to develop.
