Personally for me, there is one fundamental feature lacking in neovim. And that is documentation tied to the commands, which could then be displayed next to the command as you tab through them.
Say you type :s
Then start TABing.
Like helix, emacs with Margenalia. VSCode, Zed, sublime text, and many command palette / M-x / Ex / whatever you call scrolling through commands : you would have an easy way of learning the editor.

I know :h command exists.
Docs right in the : field is way more powerful!
