Really there are relatively few complaints from Go users. Most people just read the paragraph explaining how GOPATH works and get to work. Most of the complaints come from outside of the community--people who are frustrated that Go doesn't copy their favorite language's project files, build tools, project structure, etc. Anyway, since you don't have any actual criticism of GOPATH (just that it's "braindead" and "far worse"), I can't really do much except disagree, because GOPATH was already quite a lot nicer than the equivalent in most other languages, and modules makes it even better!
