Visual Studio Code is a free text-only "IDE" with very good support for Go (as well as other things like C#, TypeScript etc etc etc). Autocomplete/Intellisense, peek-/goto-definition, error-highlighting, git-integration, visual debugger, tabs, mini-map, extensions etc etc. Not sure what else you need really? Sure there is no GUI-builder, but then GUI in golang is in a very early stage.

I use it a lot for my work (Linux & Mac OSX) and personally at home too (Win10). I am not in any way connected to VS Code or MS, but I think it is a really good editor both for Go, but also for all of the other stuff it supports.
