It has everything you need for Go development. vim-go: Go development plugin for Vim.In this post, we will explore setting up Vim as a full-fledged IDE for Go development. It’s little challenging to use initially, but it become fun once you get used to it. Autocomplete, syntax highlighting, or any other feature you name it and it is available, you just need the right plug-in. Vim plugins provide everything to vim that you need in a text editor. You can simply use ~/.vimrc to override default configurations and personalize yours. Even on your own machine, you won’t open a heavy text editor for small change. Vim is very handy when you have to make quick configurational or other changes to the remote machine/server.It’s pretty easy to be productive in vim with little effort. It’s just simply everything in one place. I don’t have to switch between the terminal and editor/IDE. Vim and vim like text editors (emacs, nano, etc) feel and look so native, no distraction.There is great power in the way Vim handles files (buffers), splits (windows), and layouts (tabs), the power that you can’t get in other editors. Try opening a large file (~20MB) with your favorite non-vim text editor and vim, you will definitely get to know the difference. Vim can easily handle large files but Visual Studio or other IDE couldn’t handle them smoothly. Not having to switch between keyboard and mouse is definitely nice with Vim. You can do key mapping according to your convenience. Your fingers very rarely have to leave the home row, which means you’ll be able to edit text very, very quickly.

Vim supports all file formats and programming languages, no need to download different IDEs for different programming languages. It’s everywhere, and it’s the same on all platforms. Vim is guaranteed to exist on all Unix systems (basically, it’s available on every major platform).If you are a beginner, I will put some good resources for learning vim at the bottom of this post. You can put them in the comment section of this post. I would be really glad if you are a long time Vim user and have some good advice/suggestions. I am very much a beginner to vim and things I am going to explain in this is what I learned after I started using it. Do not use vim just because others are using it. It is totally up to you what works better for you.
It definitely takes some time to learn using vim but it is worth the learning. Visual Studio Code and GoLand both are totally awesome, I loved using them too. Initially, I was using VSCode with Go extension and after that, I used GoLand for a while. I recently moved to Vim for Go development and I am totally loving it. So it is important what and how you use it. As a programmer, you spend a lot of time using text editors, IDEs, etc to code.
