Well, it is or it isn't.

Here's what you can try: do a clean install of both, then document the steps you had to take to get VS Code + Go plugin to work vs getting Emacs to within a reasonable fraction of what VS Code will provide. Post your Emacs config when you are done. (As well as links to the sources where you found working configurations).

PS: good luck nailing the language server stuff on the first try on Emacs.

Quite easy - install doom emacs, comment out the ;;(go +lsp) in init.el and run doom sync. You are done and can do go development now with 1 line of config.
