I don't know why people are so upset about this. Go standardizes enough things about imports and package structure that you can completely solve dependency management in literally a shell script: https://github.com/holocm/golangvend (I'm using this productively for the Go apps that I develop at work).

the issue becomes that there are so many solutions out there that going from project to project becomes a pain.

Large projects use a litany of different tools like glide, dep, godeps, vndr, govendor, etc. that managing all of them is a pain.

What makes it worse is that Golang's official solution seems half-baked when compared with other solutions out there.
