Parent article: New features in Neovim 0.5

I am a little sad that all of the user interface bits are being offloaded to plugins- it would be nice to be able to say "nvim has this feature, this is how you use it" without devolving into a bunch of caveats and configuration.

CoC.vim is a great illustration of this- a giant choose your own adventure config is required, that kind of sucks, but since everyone customizes it there is no pressure to have a good default experience.

I am not sure what makes you say that. The article doesn't say anything about functional being removed — on the contrary, it says neovim added some basic support for LSP-servers, that is a functional that was previously completely plugin-only.
