The last time I installed VS Code to use for Go was 3 years ago, back then I had terrible experience so I went back to using Goland. I'm more into JetBrain IDEs, gotten used to their shortkeys and development space and have never felt the need to try another editor or IDE even for fun. You should try both to see which one is more comfortable for you

Yeah you don't need to install anything with Goland. Except for Material Theme plugin.

For me it gets boring long-term when using stock themes.

The thing is though, Go and the tooling for VSCode has actually come a long long way in that time. I personally don't have a usecase for Goland over VSCode. I'm genuinely curious. Personal opinions aside, Can anyone with recent experience with both these IDEs suggest why GoLand is better?

For one, the autocomplete snippets are well defined on intellij

Are you certain the batteries included GO snippets in VSCode are good enough. I do maintain a few extra on top of the default.

What I mostly like about Goland are the autocomplete snippets, I haven't tried VSCode in a long time so as you said someone who is using both should tell, which I think is hard to find since if people are satisfied with their current environment, they wouldn't move

+1 on autocomplete snippets

+1 on autocomplete snippets

If they add snippets to autocomplete methods from built-in libraries, that would rock. So you have a string: data := "Hello", inserting dot after data would show methods from strings library, so, data.split, data.TrimSpace and etc... As well as bytes and other types

Before Goland we used to code in Intellij with a plugin. But then I thought they stopped its development after Goland. Is it still working?

Can confirm missing for VSCode. Auto-completion/ Intellisense as extensive it is, still behind Goland.
