I’m not in their beta, but the following statement doesn’t give me a lot of faith in a native Jetbrains-like alternative:

> Our whole philosophy is fewer features, built with more polish. Attention to detail and thoughful design is what Chime is all about.

They seem to be pretty focused on editor usage, not tooling and ecosystem. That could definitely change over time, but I’m not currently interpreting this application as a pluggable IDE-like scenario.

They also have barely any information on their site, so it’s hard to form an opinion on this. It’s something to keep an eye on, though.

No, you got it. No public plugin system now, though anything is possible. There are already so many editors that fill that role.

For now, we're 100% focused on delivering a great Go experience.
