The availible go ide's are still young but go includes a lot of really nice tooling in the core distribution. The gofmt tool enforces a canonical format for go code and I have sublime text set up (via gosublime) to reformat on save and use the gocode autocomplete/linting daemnon.

Gofmt is actually one of my favorite parts about go and I feel that it, along with the simple documentation system and godoc.org save me a ton of time making my code ready for others to read/use.

The code base behind gofmt and gofix can also be used for other tools, i haven't felt the need for a powerful refactoring tool but I'm sure one will show up eventually.

I do miss list comprehensions and operator overloading but I understand the dev's arguments against those.
