I used vim for golang development for the past few years, however I recently switched jobs to a company with a large golang codebase and I struggled to navigate it efficiently with vim so yesterday I setup IntelliJ (with the vim plugin). It instantly made it easier for me to grasp the codebase. This might indicate that I had some gaps in my knowledge with vim, but either way I'm more productive now.

You can map keys in vim to jump to definition, view the underlying type, see implementera of a function. It's still nicer to me to be able to use a more visual IDE, but those things help. I think code completion like in Visual Studio Code makes things a lot nicer. I'm glad there is competition out there.
