I can't speak for GoLand but people make the same argument about webstorm and pycharm too occasionally... Which I both use. They're slightly different as a lot of the java-only features are removed and a few things are preconfigured making the initial experience great. I value that enough to spend the extra money for the full license (all products) vs just intellij from my personal money.
