Popular options are Sublime or vim, with respective go plugins. No Visual Studio, Eclipse or any other bloated IDE that takes more than 1 second to start up please :)

[Henry Adi Sumarto]

I use LiteIDE. It still have some rough edges, but it's functional enough to use.

LiteIDE https://github.com/visualfc/liteide is fast, simple, yet useful. Sublime Text 3 is working well for me too. 

[Dvir Volk]

I'm using LiteIDE personally. It's a bit lacking around the edges, but it's a decent editor, and in terms of Go integration nothing comes close to it.

Other viable options besides Sublime, are :

1. Atom, that has around 3-4 Go related extensions, and just lacks proper integrated build support; But test, lint, vet, rename, find refs, goimports, goto deceleration - all work.

2. IntelliJ have a fast-maturing Go plugin (I think Jetbrains put a developer full-time on it)

https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/releases

[Jon Mayo]

I'm normally a Linux and Vim or NetBeans guy. LiteIDE was painless to install and fast on my old crusty Windows box. It has that simplicity not unlike SmallTalk environments that I find missing in other IDEs.

[Mihai Costin]

Yes, the Intellij plugin gets better and better. 

I've been using it for a while now and I like it, although I have to admit IDEA was my IDE of choice even before starting to learn go :)

[John Weldon]

For what it's worth the new Code editor from Visual Studio is pretty fast and enjoyable to use.  I think it's based on the Atom editor that Github put out a while back, but I don't know that for certain.

I'm a pretty committed Vim user, but Visual Studio Code has a lot to offer in terms of a fast, light, and useful editor.

Its kinda broken for me on the latest version,  it keeps trying to run "go test" on my projects even with no tests defined, and then failing becuase it cant find the tests. Happens on any build or run function.

AFAIK it uses the Electron Shell that is developed to run Atom (https://github.com/atom/electron) but it doesn't actually share editor code with Atom, or is compliant with its plugins.

It doesn't "feel" the same either (feels better actually to me personally). But its go support is little more than syntax highlighting and some generic auto-completion. 

[Florin Patan]

Hi Tim,

I'm one of the contributors to the Go plugin for IntelliJ and I'd like to ask you to please open an issue on the tracker https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/issues/new so that me and the other contributors have a chance to fix this. I haven't encountered this so far so that's why I'm asking.

Thank you for your time and help.

Kind regards,
Florin

[jonathan...@gmail.com]

I'm partial to liteide as well. Vim-go isn't bad either. Liteide is just what the name implies, light, a good fit for go. Couple rough edges but nothing major.

Emacs is the best IDE for everything. The go mode is good - automated gofmt on save, gocode to follow tags etc.

[Tyler Compton]

I used to use Atom and Go-Plus. It works well if you want a standard, lightweight text editor environment and Go-Plus handles the Go tools well (though I have had it hang for extended periods rarely, I can't figure out what causes that).

I've recently started using vim with vim-go, but I think if you liked vim, you'd be using it already.

[ugol]

I am trying LiteIde these days but used just IntelliJ+Go plugin until now. I think IJ+Go plugin has a lot of potential, the basic editor is obviously superb (batte tested in years and years of Java/Python/Javascript/C#/etc.), the go plugin is at the moment just good enough.

This kind of question usually does not produce anything worthwhile.

It's like asking what food tastes best and expect a valid answer...

As a programmer it should be rather obvious that you need a text editor / ide, and judging from google search results, there are a few to chose from.
The ONLY way you'll ever find out what is best for YOU is by trying out different ones.

[Dvir Volk]

It is helpful even though you won't get a definitive answer. For example I didn't know the VScode extension and that it was so good.

BTW personally I use LiteIDE and I'm rather happy, but always trying new ones.

I just received a e-mail asking for an explanation for the "+1" I sent.

 

Sorry, people. I thought it was usual internet slang even outside my country. I didn't realize people from different cultures may not know the meaning.

 

+1 stands for "I agree with what you just said", or "here you have ONE MORE guy that thinks as you do". It's the same meaning as "X2", meaning "TIMES 2, because we think alike".

 

We just quote the other guy and put +1, or X2. In present case I wanted to endorse Dvir Volk's opinion.

 

Sorry. I will try to be more explicit next time, my friends.

LiteIDE (http://sourceforge.net/projects/liteide) but this is purely subjective

[Nathan Fisher]

It's not an invalid question because it's subjective. The value in the answer is not that it's a binary yes or no but that it gives you exposure to a number of preferences. Based on those pallets it can guide you in a specific direction and make you aware of some of the caveats of that choice.

Nothing wrong with standing on the backs of giants IMHO. :)

> What's the best IDE for golang?

Let me rephrase that question: What's the best IDE for language X?

It's more than likely that you'll be punching in text to mark-up html, reply
to emails, knock up a Makefile, maybe a bit of LaTeX, some other scripting
language: Javascript/Python/Perl etc. aswell as Go. If you're not doing that
already, it's likely that you will be doing so in the future if you pursue a
career in IT.  For that you need an IDE which will cover all possible bases,
is cross-platform and programmable.

For efficiency at punching in text, then it boils down to 2 options: Emacs
or Vim.

I tried Emacs but didn't like it. The backronym: Escape Meta Alt Ctl Space,
came readily to mind. You can use Viper mode (which emulates Vim and uses
the home keys for navigation) but you're still left with learning Emacs Lisp
if you want to do anything serious - something I wasn't prepared for ~20 yrs
ago whem I was just getting the hang of Unix shell. The barrier to entry was
too high.

So I gave Vim a go. The advantages: it's more basic precursor vi is found on
pretty much every Linux/Unix machine you can shake a stick at in the base
system. This means you can edit config files etc. without having to install any
application software. Also, you only have to read a couple of pages of the
help system to be productive: a very low barrier to entry.

Of course, being a programmer you will go onto asking yourself: "How can I
automate this?". You will grovel around the help pages and Google and come
up with things like macros, marks, folding, search and replace in Vim. For a
start:

http://www.vim.org/

Search and replace tips (v. similar to the Unix/Linux utility Sed):

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_and_replace

and you'll want to get your head around vimscript eventually (a fairly
complete language with basic flow control but lacking the more advanced data
structures available in something like Go):

http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/

Until we get some sort of electronics reading our minds (some considerable
time in the future), the way we will communicate is text and speech. The
latter we can't do a lot about, but for the former, if you're not using vim,
then you're doing it wrong.

The Zeus IDE has good support for the Go language and for Go tools like go build, doc, fix, run, vet, Oracle etc.

It also uses gocode for autocomplete and goimports to automatically format the file on the save event.

PHPStorm/IntelliJ IIDA + Golang plugin.

These IDEs will give you a full setup for several languages at once and will help a lot with quite a number of tasks: from extensive code styling to refactoring and watchers to run/debug configurations (that I use a lot with Go) to vagrant support etc etc. etc

One more thing - these IDEs are pretty performant these days. I totally do not buy promo shouts of Sublime/Atom being "lightweight" compared to "monstrous" IDEs.
Long gone are the days when I was waiting for Eclipse to run indexing for 40 minutes.

One note: I mentioned PHPStorm purely because I have to support some PHP based projects as well.
However, I also use IntelliJ IDEA separately when I need to work with Scala - I just prefer to have isolated setups.

Regarding the Golang plugin  - totally no concerns. It has a big community, updated almost daily ( https://github.com/go-lang-plugin-org/go-lang-idea-plugin/commits/master ) and never gave me any headache. 

Hope this helps

P.S.
No relation to PHPStorm/IntelliJ developers at all. Just love their products. Switched from Eclipse 4 years ago and never looked back.

Atom seconded. With the Git tools added it makes a nice setup, though I'd like an improved GoOracle that more context-y, automatic, and had working secondary features. 

I tried VSCode but it doesn't do multiple Git roots in one editor correctly, and that's a common use-case for me that Atom has covered. VSCode was also far less (predictably) customizable. It tries too hard to be Sublime and duplicated its lack-of-interface. 

SublimeText3 isn't bad either, but setup is a greater bear and then it wants your money.

Nothing worked in liteIDE out of box, no useful documentation either. May be worked for authors, but I doubt it.

LiteIDE worked out of the box at one time. I've not had any problems, but with software in a constant state of development I wouldn't be surprised if something is broken. That is a price one usually pays when working with new languages and tools.

I think that isa really personal question. 

I am really big fan of VIM and VS Code when I want something more visual. Both are pretty light and easy to use.

[Dvir Volk]

VSCode's golang extension has become very very good, and along with the editor itself being excellent, it's become my go-to IDE for Go (and C and Python), instead of LiteIDE. Atom is also decent for Go, but I find Atom in general to be a bit bloated and clunky.

As I recently renamed my template files, I will add.

If you use vscode then I advise to use .go.html or another extension for html
templates, rather than the often suggested .gohtml

Otherwise, vscode bugs you with adding .txt extensions when saving. Github
issues have been closed, due to being an upstream electron? bug.
