Nothing besides convenience. As a rule of thumb I would love to have editor I find suiting my needs and ideally it would be easy to me to contribute/adjust it to my needs.
Regarding [Neo]Vim - I don't think core is something I would touch a lot. Most likely UI/GUI stuff and plugins (vimscripts etc ..). Due to the nature of vimscripts I would prefer to hack around it in something like Python, Lua or Rust.
- I find C++ codebase too hard to follow and understand. I like C, but it lacks syntax sugar etc...
- I find Rust promising (hopefully it's something I will be able to read relatively easy and hopefully it would be easier to reason about,especially in regard to memory management).

I don't get what a Rust GUI would give you, in this case?

My personal subjective judgement:
- Disclaimer: I'm mostly Java, C#, Python developer
