Gogland vs IntelliJ go lang plugin

<p>Hi guys,</p> <p>I&#39;ve been using Intellij with go plug in before. I have tried the Gogland and don&#39;t see much difference.. I am wondering if it&#39;s worth to buy a subscription over using free IntelliJ + golang plugin? (when they release paid version) </p> <p>What is your thought</p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>dlsniper: <pre><p>There are a ton of differences between the Go plugin and the IDE, you can find some here: <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/1.0/faq.html#d3e52" rel="nofollow">https://www.jetbrains.com/help/go/1.0/faq.html#d3e52</a></p> <p>Among big missing features you can find things like type-aware inspections, completion, interface stubbing for types as well as navigation to / from interface implementation, the recently released support for basic C syntax highlight, run gofmt/goimports on save and a host of others, see: <a href="https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.jetbrains.com/go/</a></p> <p>There&#39;s also another component: Gogland is for now in EAP and will only get better, the open-source plugin doesn&#39;t get much development these days and there could be some time until the other IDEs get the Gogland-equivalent plugin for them.</p> <p>Hope it helps.</p></pre>andradei: <pre><p>One thing is that Goglang is leaner for Go-only or Go centric applications. What are plugins in IntelliJ are built-in in Gogland, that kind of integration is always smoother (retrieving GOPATH, loading go libraries, builtin a new project, linting, testing, etc.)</p></pre>kfirufk: <pre><p>I actually checked with the free go-lang plugin creators on gitter. For now there are missing features that are only available in goland, but once goland goes final they&#39;ll start exporting it into an intellij ultimate plug-in </p></pre>dlsniper: <pre><p>That plugin will not be available in the IntelliJ Community, as per the question from the author here. So you&#39;ll have to buy either IntelliJ Ultimate (other IDEs might also get it, I don&#39;t have this information) or, if you don&#39;t need the extra stuff, Gogland. </p></pre>
