The constant thrash caused by the lack of a standard package management tool—even a de facto standard. Just look at the various package managers that have come and gone over the years: 1. https://github.com/tools/godep https://github.com/tools/godep 2. https://github.com/kardianos/govendor https://github.com/kardianos/govendor 3. https://github.com/robfig/glock https://github.com/robfig/glock 4. https://github.com/rogpeppe/govers https://github.com/rogpeppe/govers 5. https://github.com/Masterminds/glide https://github.com/Masterminds/glide 6. https://github.com/golang/dep https://github.com/golang/dep I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. And just when it seemed the Go team might be ready to standardize around Dep (6), they threw this wrench in the works. I'm of two minds about vgo. I think it has some interesting ideas, but Dep works today, is widely adopted, and has nearly all the features you'd expect from a modern package manager.
