One point that a lot of those "actually, just use Go" articles fail to recognize is that there is a sizable amount of developers who simply dislike programming in Go.

Despite its impressive compilation speed and bundled tooling and whatnot, some (myself included) find it tedious and uninteresting to program in Go, with tons of repetition and verboseness. Some people are more utilitarian and don't mind, but not all think the same.

Yep. For me Concurrency and CSP are why I learned Go and why I still use it today. I love thinking concurrently about problems and how data and control flow through those systems. It was a natural fit for me in those aspects and the other language warts don't get in the way enough to matter.
