I don't use Emacs, so I can't comment on it. One large advantage DrRacket has is its graphics capabilities. One could write a Neovim GUI in Racket and give it the same graphical capabilities.
What's really cool about Neovim is that the developers have been de-crufting Vim. For example, GUIs are now independent of the editor itself, you could even use another editor like Atom and embed Neovim. In the past you would have had to use a Vim emulator, which is usually a hit or miss, but now you can just embed the real thing. Remote plugins I have already mentioned; in Vim if you want to write plugins in another language you have to re-compile Vim, with Neovim you just retrofit it. Then there is all the async stuff which was the prime motivation for starting Neovim. I was still new to Vim when I was getting really annoyed about things like syntax-checking always blocking and I was considering switching to Emacs, but then I discovered Neovim. Emacs is older than Neovim and I don't think anyone here on this mailing list is using Neovim (except me), but people do use Emacs, so the Emacs-Racket ecosystem (and Lisp in general) has had more time to mature. It will be a while before Racket support in Neovim catches up with Emacs.
