I think there has been quite a few very fundamental enhancements to Emacs recently. The JIT which was added to 28 and now a pure GTk Emacs. This fixes some very long standing infrastructure issues and enables further exciting developments. A faster Elisp not only makes the editor feel snappier - it also opens up application development in Emacs. It becomes feasible and nice to develop much larger packages or even complete software on top of Emacs.
The pure GTk Emacs cleans up the UI handling and I hope this also means for more widgets becoming available to Elisp. This would enable quite a lot of interesting additions.
