A full Go ide would have been better in my experience.

I switch between Emacs and IntelliJ's Go plugin for working on Terraform - the Go plugin is very complete, and as far as I'm aware the only working visual debugger for Go.

  Check out LiteIDE, it's got visual debugging support as well.

Genuinely curious... what would you like to see in a Go IDE that isn't provided for free by IntelliJ Community Edition and the Go plugin today?

  Official support ?

You should also consider vim (w. the vim-go plugin) if you're on Unix. It's well-written, and along with several other vim plugins and a decent configuration, it's miles ahead of any IDE (except emacs, not starting an editor war here).

  I have found that vim-go is effectively unusable if you are editing files over a few hundred lines long or on large projects. The time between :w and regaining control of the editor is just too long. Much of this is probably due to the execution time of the compiler for Syntactic checking, and has extended significantly in Go 1.5. Colleagues tell me that neovim alleviates some of this, but during the time before that was stable I switched to emacs (specifically Spacemacs) with evil mode instead.

2 jetbrains devs work full time on a Go plugin for Intellij: https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin

  Cool, This is what I am talking about, This could end up very well. But they should put "Official" tag on it. Good job Jetbrain.
