I've been using the nightly builds for a while now, and the language server support works very well, but for me the most exciting part of Neovim is Lua. Lua isn't the headlining feature of v0.5, but the API has still grown a lot since the last release.
As an example of why I love Lua support, I wrote a small file finding plugin for myself because I wasn't satified with the many alternatives (not a huge fan of fuzzy-matching). It took only a couple days to have a working plugin, and it has been fun to extend it with new features over the last month. The Lua API is relatively straightforward, and it really lowers the bar for writing plugins and small helper functions to add to your config.
Switching from Vim is not necessary, but Lua support alone was enough to convince me to give it a try, and is the main reason I have stayed with Neovim.
