Language support in VSCode for Go breaks in unexpected ways after every update of Go, VSCode or any plugin involved. gopls has not helped at all so far.
Golang or IntelliJ with the Go plugin just work. I have been trying to use Code instead of IDEA for 3 years and it is just not worth it. VSCode startup also is not as fast anymore, so that USP is gone as well.
Debugging features are not even comparable, the difference is day and night.
I tried fixing it again and again but never in my whole journey has there been a moment where everything just works, just as Goland did since it became stable.
It is cheaper to use IDEA Ultimate instead of wasting a few minutes every day fighting with my IDE.
Oh and i want to add that VSCode actually created a lot of damage for me.
There were multiple instances where i practiced a live coding session for some talk or other a day before and after arriving to the venue Code language support just broke for some reason or other. This happened like 50% of the time. One time if destroyed a lot of the session because it just automatically did nonsensical imports during my live coding!
