I really appreciate the work put on other plugins with similar goals, such as https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime, but sublime-go seems much simpler to use and has all the basic features for a reasonable experience with Go & Sublime Text.
Thanks to Amir Abushareb, who maintains it.

19 sourcesI use an editor plugin that adds and removes imports automatically. It works very well.
https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime
In I Love Go; I Hate GoI know that but racer is not yet as "ready" as i liked.
Currently go is far ahead especially https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime
However I liked rust more, for what I'm doing.
In Good Practices for Writing Rust LibrariesI've had a pull request in to add support for GoRename, to the GoSublime plugin for SublimeText. Works great.

In A Rust Contributor Tries Their Hand at GoIs there any benefit to go-plus over GoSublime? https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime
In Atom.io: Multi-Folder ProjectsCan't fully remember but it was something to do with the Go Sublime plugin (https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime). I know I should have perservered longer, but gave up in the end.
In Don't Deal With It, Fix ItI wasn't a huge fan of LiteIDE when I tried it. I prefer GoSublime[1] with SublimeCodeIntel[2], with goimports[3] for my gofmt command. The combo of the three is really awesome.

In Space Monkey dumps Python for GoI suspect this time around ST will destroy everything else. To be honest I can't really think of another editor that's as portable, affluent with extensions, and easy to use. And [0] and [1] are almost as good as the real thing.
edit: One of the big reasons I depend on ST at the moment is GoSublime [2].

In Poll: what's your primary editor/IDE?GoSublime also utilises gocode for ST users: https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime
In Martini: Classy web development in GoThe Go Sublime plugin will go fmt your code on save:
https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime
It's nice not having to think about proper spacing anymore and just focusing on writing the code itself.
In Refactoring with go fmt> I didn't ask for a language which "requires" an IDE. I simply want to find a decent IDE for use when coding Go.
Depends what you mean by "IDE". There's LiteIDE[1], which fits the more "traditional" idea of an IDE.
I use Sublime Text 2 + GoSublime[2] myself; auto-completes from packages—inc. third party ones installed via `go get`—as well as error detection and integrated `go fmt`.

In Google’s Go has some coders ravingFor me, the moment DisposaBoy has GoSublime ( https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime ) working and being maintained on ST3 I shall upgrade.
One person created a fork ( https://github.com/quarnster/GoSublime ) which he got working, but it's already a couple of months behind HEAD. So I am waiting, as I reckon other Go devs are too.
In Upgrading to Sublime Text 3GoSublime [1] is also an awesome plugin if you write Go code.

In Setting up Sublime Text 2I was looking at Sublime Text for Go, and apparently the autocomplete box cannot be expanded so it is unable to display function arguments.
https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime/issues/212
Probably an issue for other languages as well.
In Setting up Sublime Text 2If you write Go, definitely check out GoSublime[1]. It's very powerful and gives you an IDE like environment inside Sublime Text 2.
