> Go’s LSP (created by Go Team) is the best in class and super feature rich. I’d recommend trying out things before making claims about one thing being better than the other.
Ahem, cough.
gopls is a PLS. Which Wikipedia gives us the definition of being:
programming language-specific features like code completion, syntax highlighting and marking of warnings and errors, as well as refactoring routines
PLS features are only the tip of the iceberg of the features that you get with GoLand which has a much richer integration with Go. Ranging from contextual menus, to configuration options to all sorts of other things.
I therefore retain my point that VSCode's only benefit over GoLand is its free.
