Pros Project management, Plugins (git, themes, shortcuts), easy-to-debug services, builtin remote development, etc. Tips and Suggestions Cons RAM consumption,More GoLang plugins. Integrate go tools like vet, etc to run during build. Review Source KT Keith T.

Some great tools and resources I did not know I needed. Pros Easy to use, helped me be more productive all around. Its fun to use. Has some great tutorials and a great feature set. Tons of stuff to customize out of the box, lots of plugins. A bit pricy, but well worth the price. The help to see what a function is and does and the documentation is huge. The search is great. Cons Took a little getting use to, and a little to customize and get setup how I wanted to optimize my workflow, there is a ton of options and some are not labeled how I would think. I needed to increase the JVM size which was not known. Sometimes its very picky about the import list and won't let me include something before I have time to implement it (too quick), other times is super slow with the import list and won't recognize something like "fmt" for a while and i have to manually add it in. A bit pricy, but well worth the price in the long run. Alternatives considered [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) Reason for choosing GoLand overall better suited for go development Switched from [Eclipse Web Tools Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/175991/Eclipse-Web-Tools-Platform/)[Sublime Text](https://www.capterra.com/p/179535/Sublime-Text/)[Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) My company offered to pay for it for me, and it was well worth the shift, especially after support for Atom.io stopped Review Source Rishabh G.

It is only available if paid money for. Review Source RS Ranu S.

Tried lot of alternatives but this one is awesome and I usually give more preference to editors that are designed for specific languages. Pros The software is really nice for coding your code in golang language. It automatically formats your code as soon as you minimize or run the code. The code also gets colorful which makes it easy to read within the editor. You can directly push the code to git repos from the editor itself using terminal provided into it and same can be used for performing other got related stuff like installing libraries and build deployments. Cons To very frank I have not found any as such defects into the editor. Yes the cost is the factor due to which people usually don't go for it. Switched from [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) It's generic editor and doesn't any good support or functionalities like Goland for Golang. You need to install all the packages and libraries to make it compatible for go. Review Source EJ Efren J.

It made a lot easier to start programming with this IDE because you can setup everything from there Cons I mean, at the moment I haven’t paid for it because I’m using a student credential, but I think it is a little expensive Switched from [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) Visual studio code is just a text editor so it was very difficult to start learning with all the setup of go Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Go IDE out there" November 24, 2023 5.0 Pros All the features I love from all the JetBrains IDE, specifically great refactoring potential and code completion. Cons Profiling is only supported for tests and not for normal application runs Review Source LT Li T. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great IDE for Go" January 13, 2023 5.0 Pros Goland is the best IDE for developing in Go. Lots of helpful functionality including a great debugger. Cons It is language specific, so if you want to develop in other languages you’ll have to use multiple IDEs. Additionally it is quite complex for new users and may take some time to understand all the features and functionality Review Source Similar Products Featured
