Old feature: Good shortcuts for editing text. Talking about vim's grammar to select/move/delete/add... edit text in general. Not sure how the rest of the editors can rely on few CTRL-something commands and using mouse so much.
New feature: I do a bit of work in Visual Studio as well, and I really like AI backed code completion. It results in less navigation when selecting items from code completion list.
Edit: I missed the line where you speak about VIM. My favourite changes in my setup in VIM in last couple of years fall in 2 categories, terminal stuff moved into vim if it fits nicely (lazygit, fzf...) and another category that helps me use all the features of the editor.
LazyGit integration - popup window with basic git stuff.
LazyDocker - same thing but I am almost not using it at all
kreskij/vim-reminder-tips - Gives me tips about custom shortcuts I set up in vim
liuchengxu/vim-which-key - Gives me a nice menu for doing different common things (such as run tests for current file, open documentation, all other leader key commands)
Overall, if I had to pick one thing it would be LazyGit. It's so good!
