I used Go to create different web apps. One example would be https://namesmith.io https://namesmith.io (shameless plug), which I created with the Revel framework. Revel is often seen as anti-idiomatic because it's a whole framework but it is nice to get a web app going pretty fast (with Go). These days I have a lot more experience and I probably would choose echo or something similar. Not because I think that Revel is bad but because I have a lot more freedom with those. For editing I mostly use Vim. Generally I would say if you create web apps maybe choose something different from Go. It certainly can be easier/more comfortable. For APIs it's still great and one of the best choices IMO.
