- No official first-party GUI is shipped; Neovim itself is a terminal-based editor and only maintains a curated list of third-party GUI front-ends
- Licensing is not uniform: code contributed after commit b17d96 is Apache 2.0, but code carried over from Vim (tagged vim-patch) remains under Vim's own license
- Built-in LSP client and Tree-sitter integration are frameworks requiring separate configuration or plugins for language servers/grammars to be useful, not out-of-box language support
- No official iOS, Android, or web build
