I have an engineer on my team that loves RubyMine. I can't even argue with her choice... JetBrains does indeed make very solid products. I'm just not a fan though. Even still, I never want the code I write, or the tools I choose to be IDE/editor specific. Right now we're trying to figure out how to get Biome (JavaScript linter/formatter) to play nicely with RubyMine... it's not as simple as NeoVim/VSCode.

Jetbrains Goland doesn't make your code IDE specific at all. They don't do any magic, go build and everything else all works as expected from the command line. go fmt, go imports, revive, etc., can all be configured in the editor to run on save. My only complaint is that there are so many options, it takes a while to grok everything.

So instead of picking tooling that works with the dev tooling your developers like, you pick tooling that's dime a dozen (js formatter) that doesn't work with the best tools your devs like? Got it. How are you still a manager?

I'm confused at what your comment was designed to achieve. It seems like an attempt to troll. But here it is:

Formatting tooling was chosen before several members joined my team. It was chosen due to having far fewer dependencies than ESLint+Typescript+Prettier etc. One package... one setup.

Secondly, what exactly do you think managing is? Someone has to make the ultimate decision and be responsible for it. Perhaps you think a manager is someone who's constantly wandering around taking a vote from everyone on how they want to steer the ship? While I do strive to find concensus among my team that's not leading. Agree to disagree there.
