Be warned that if you like all the tooling VSCode provides for Go then that is still not available if you are using go modules. They are working on it and there are some rough betas out there for some limited functionality but simple things like renaming variables etc, are still not available.

Realize this is a tooling issue and not necessarily a language one, but do feel like they should be mentioning this. It makes working with modules pretty painful. (we are doing it but man do I miss simple refactors / usages etc..)

I agree, I tried go modules a couple of months ago but the VSCode tools were much slower and cpu usage increased when using go mod extensions. I reverted back to not using go modules at the time, will try again soon to see if it improved. I still like go modules.
