Goland or Intellij IDE Ultimate Edition?

<p>I used to do all my development in intellij open source with golang plugin till they decided to stop that.</p> <p>Now I have been using goland on trial and I need to decide to with that one or order Intellij Ultimate Edition with Go plugin.</p> <p>Most my development is in go but it is also good to have intellij for nodejs and java but that is not a must. </p> <p>How good is intellij go plugin? Is it as good as goland? Which one do you suggest from a mostly Go development perspective?</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>justinisrael: <pre><p>They are mostly the same thing and use the same plugin. Goland just streamlines the interface to assume you are doing Go projects. I don&#39;t like having tons of ide windows open so I end up staying in Intellij so that I have full access to not only Go but python and Java projects. Many of the language plugins are offered in either the language specific ide or Intellij ultimate. </p></pre>drdabbles: <pre><p>I personally bought Ultimate Edition this year. I was using PyCharm and Goland, and just consolidated to the one license. Now I get access to more products for the same price of two I was already paying.</p></pre>dlsniper: <pre><blockquote> <p>Most my development is in go but it is also good to have intellij for nodejs and java</p> </blockquote> <p>GoLand has the same nodejs support as IntelliJ as both rely on WebStorm for it. So if you get GoLand you&#39;ll have the nodejs support available, but not the java one. </p> <blockquote> <p>How good is intellij go plugin? Is it as good as goland?

For example, the plugin available in IDEA 2018.1 offers what GoLand 2018.1 does. The difference is that GoLand is focused on Go development and as such it is cleaner, quicker to start, etc.</p></pre>aboukirev: <pre><p>Also, GoLand usually gets new features/updates first and they appear in Go plugin for IDEA later.</p> <p>I have IDEA Ultimate and do all my Go development in VSCode. Just a matter of preference. Development in Kotlin, however, is completely different matter - IDEA, without question.</p></pre>dlsniper: <pre><blockquote> <p>Also, GoLand usually gets new features/updates first and they appear in Go plugin for IDEA later.</p> </blockquote> <p>It depends on the release cycle of the various IDEs, this is true.</p></pre>
