Can only second this, we use a VSCode devContainer-based setup in all of our projects and even migrate our legacy projects to it (software agency).

Here's our current base go template, you only need Docker+VSCode on your system to get started: https://github.com/allaboutapps/go-starter

Bonus points:

* As all IDE operations solely run within the local Docker container, all developers can expect that their IDE will work the same without manual configuration steps.

* We can easily support local development in all three major OSes (MacOS, Windows, Linux) and even support developing directly in your Browser through GitHub Codespaces.

* Developing directly inside a Docker container guarantees that you use the very same toolset, which our CI will use to build these images. There are no more excuses why your code builds differently locally versus in our CI.

Edit: format/typos

Does that force everyone to use VS Code only? Can non VS Code developers also work efficiently?

You could always run something like Vim/Neovim directly in the container.

I, personally, hope that JetBrains comes up with something similar which will allow devs to use the same workflow with the JetBrains IDEs.

yep, currently it forces our engineers to use VS Code or a terminal-based setup (or GitHub Codespaces). Hopefully Goland / IntelliJ catches up in this year...
