- kstenerud 5y agoI've never managed to get go support working on vscode. Even the devs themselves couldn't help me get it working (on Mac or on Ubuntu). I basically get a slow text editor with no code insight, and no debug support. LiteIDE works most of the time, though.
- donatj 5y agoI’m curious what you have weird with your setup. In my experience you add the extension, it asks to install some tools, and everything just magically works. I’ve had basically this experience on Linux and macOS, and most of my team uses it without issue.
- kstenerud 5y agoYes, that's what's so infuriating about it. I make a point of not doing anything out of the ordinary when I install things, or customizing my OS, specifically because I HATE it when this happens...
- caeril 5y agoAnybody who has used Go in VSCode for longer than two days is familiar with the constant need to restart gopls. That's probably the biggest annoyance. There are a ton of other minor ones, too. To be fair, language servers in general are absolute garbage, but the combination of VSCode and gopls is particularly bad.
- sk0g 5y agoGoLand's debugger, autocompletes, and just general feature set made it very hard to watch co-workers struggle with VS Code. Ended up with everyone getting GoLand licences eventually.
