The lack of integrated terminal or method of running a go program makes me question what use this is to someone. Until either of those is implemented, this is a no-go for me. Not even mentioning that it costs money to use without adding any value over free editors.

For me, the lack of those features is itself a feature.

I don't have any interest in using the subpar terminals/"execute this thing" buttons included in many editors. I'd rather use a terminal that I actually like -- the one I use for everything else.

I also don't want any "magic" to happen under the hood to run a thing (looking at you, Java IDEs). I want anyone to be able to download the thing I'm working on and run it without being tied to a particular editor/IDE, and the best way to do that is to put your build/run stuff into something portable (shell script, Makefile, task file, whatever) instead of relying on a button in a GUI somewhere.

With maybe a few exceptions that I'm unaware of, all integrated terminals are optional features that can be disabled. I agree that editor-specific run configurations are over the top and bad form, however an integrated terminal is a very useful feature that I use all the time, especially when working with Go.

Edit: And that said, if I'm paying money for a product it better have features that I'm going to need, and if I don't need them it better have a way to disable them.

For me as well. However language specific IDEs these days usually don't have much if anything on more popular editors.

I like having my terminal attached to my editor, but I don't like it integrated with the editor. Some of the integration features are cool, like clicking to view a file in the editor straight from an error message, but I always get frustrated with the integrated terminal's small size, and it's not convenient to resize it. Or it can slow down the editor when a lot of output is happening (VS Code). Sometimes it's a third-party solution that isn't well maintained (Atom, Sublime Text).

Ideally, I'd love a way to glue sets of windows together and move them around as one piece, without being a tiling window manager.

I'm quite happy with my current editor and probably wouldn't use this, but I have also never used either of those features. I run my code using a separate terminal in a separate window, and can't really understand why anyone likes squashing their terminal into the same space as their code (although I recognise that they do, and I'm glad that they can if that's what they want) - seems like it would be distracting and reduce the amount of code you can get on screen at once.

Only benefit i have found is if it is on a remote machine and you do not feel like ssh-ing twice.
