Go users aren't satisfied with what's already being used? Big surprise.

Not sure I follow. Go fmt is a built-in linter (for lack of a better word) tool. It's not required, it's not unique to Go nor is not using a linter unique to Go users.

In general it tends to have much more religious support among users because of its ease of use and rigid, inarguable formatting.
