> GoLand enables you to be much more productive because of its first-class integration with Go.

Err, what? There isn't even an argument here, "GoLand only supports Go so surely it must be better at it!".

> The only reason some people use VSCode instead of GoLand for Go coding is because its free. There's no real reason to use it otherwise.

The feature set listed on the site looks identical to that offered today by Rust-Analyzer or the existing IntelliJ-Rust plugin. Except in practice, IntelliJ-Rust is significantly weaker at understanding Rust code than Rust-Analyzer, and the strides that they have made in the last few years have largely come down to piggybacking off of it.

And that's ignoring that I find IntelliJ's text editor to be vastly less comfortable than Emacs+Evil. (Yes, I know about IdeaVim. I used it for years. It doesn't hold a candle.)
