Hello! My question is basically what the title says. I’m searching for an IDE/text editor for Go development and am wondering if anybody knows an alternative to these. Here is the list of software I tried:

  • I’ve tried NeoVim but I really don’t want to waste time doing text-based configuration and messing with extensions just to get some basic features working.

  • I tried VSCodium but it doesn’t exist in my system software repositories (I’m currently on Chimera Linux), and the flatpak version can’t run any system commands.

  • GoLand and Sublime Text are proprietary & paid.

It seems the market for IDEs is pretty small, so I wouldn’t really be surprised if nothing existed that fit these criteria, but thanks for any answers in advance!

Edit: I’ve settled with Lite-XL which seems to be a great editor. Thanks for all of your great recommendations!

    Have you tried any of the premade Neovim configurations like Lunarvim or NvChad?

    Apart from that maybe something can be done with vscodium in a distrobox container or something, I haven’t looked much into that.

      I used lunarvim until I was comfortable enough to use my own neovim setup, can confirm this it is generally a good way to go about doing vim setups.
