Eh, I would describe go's tooling as "minimalist" or, less charitably, as "barely adequate." Pre-modules the global GOPATH approach was hacky and ugly, and post-modules the go command is a mess of contradictions straining against the backwards compatibility guarantee. And editor integration back in the day wasn't much more than running go fmt and go build.
