If you read over the rest of this thread, you can find opinions ranging from "GOPATH is horrible" to "It's wonderful". And I just want to point out this is pretty good example of how important the marginal improvements can be. Abstractly, you might have a hard time sitting there imagining how for a thousand of your users, improving $ONE_SMALL_FEATURE might flip them from not paying you to paying you, but at scale, yes, such margin-based thinking really is important. Just like you may find it hard to really intuit that going from .75s page rendering to .5s page rendering can have a significant impact on the bottom line for an e-retailer, but, yeah, it does.

Just wanted to point this out as a clear example of such an issue, since it doesn't come up very often so cleanly.
