Nice, Intellij (avec GoPlugin) is the only dev tool I pay for out of pocket.

The vast majority of the company I'm at uses VSCode (for mostly GoLang & Typescript). So I don't want to make the case to have them pay for it. But 40hrs/w of my existance is spent in a IDE/editor and IMO its totally worth it to pay for the one I feel most productive with.



Also paying for Intellij, it's an amazing tool.


I have a tiny Go program that I very rarely touch and was quite happy with the go plugin ... until they launched their full blown Go IDE and disabled the plugin in their other IDEs.

I understand why but I'm still a bit sour.

And that's how I finally tried VSCode.


> disabled the plugin in their other IDEs

Wut? The plugin is there. I installed it in IDEA without any problems just two weeks ago. Then again, I have an Ultimate subscription, I don't know if the free versions are held back.


Yeah typically the plugins are only available for ultimate after they launch a paid version.


You can always get the EAP version for free. It's probably stable enough for your rarely touched Go program https://www.jetbrains.com/resources/eap/


Hmm, I can appreciate that free EAP download links would probably be a tad nontrivial to find by design, but after having a bit of a dig I'm still coming up stumped.

Do I have to go through the Toolbox to get this?
