> the ability to use Lua over VimScript
The Neovim people went a bit further with the integration, but you've been able to use Lua with Vim for like 20 years or so, and you can use it to write perfectly functional plugins with it. Probably the main difference is that in Neovim Lua is always guaranteed to be available, which isn't the case for Vim.
