The Go people really have figured everything out. You don't need IDEs! You need reusable pieces of code that you can plug into every other text editor, IDE or what have you. For C/C++/Obj-C we can use llvm/clang. [1] I've found Pysmell[2] and Rope[3], for Python. C# has NRefactory[4], which is used by the Sharpdevelop and Xamarin folks. When doing java you can kind of do this with Eclim[5]. It can run a headless eclipse. The day vim does all of these out of the box, will be a happy day!

  YouCompleteMe[1] was discussed here[2] not too long ago. Do you have any thoughts on how it compares to clang_complete and pysmell/rope? It would be nice if this new Go completer could be plugged into YCM (for example), or if these various plugins could combine efforts somehow. Superficially (I haven't read the source), YCM seems like it would have a pluggable backend since it already uses both llvm/clang and jedi(python) for completions.

    Gocode can provide Omnicompletion for Vim which YCM can autocomplete for you, if that's what you mean. I'm currently doing that and it works really nicely.

Not new, but yeah awesome. This automagically integrates into Sublime Text simply by just installing the GoSublime plugin.

This works really well with Textmate 2 as well with the default Go bundle, though I did have a problem with the daemon not communicating with TM correctly at first - it was running, but no autocomplete in Textmate. Stopping it and restarting did the trick. Thanks for the great tool, I'll be using this a lot.
