Why does the title refer to this as a Go editor when the linked page is talking about having support for 23 different languages?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
what other features do you need in a text editor other than typing text and getting code completion?
A pricing scheme where I don't pay $29.99 for a minimalist editor that gets one year of updates.

It doesn't expire and it's a way to support the little guy while getting a great product. I don't see the issue here. Also, $30 is how many cups of coffee? 6-7?
I'm also the sort of person who balks at Sublime licenses, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Still though, there are many (even Mac-native) editors that put up stiff competition.
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.
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.

you can still feed the big corps with your data if that's what you prefer
but the people working on vscode don't do it for free either ;)

This is an app for MacOS, the desktop operating system that sends Apple telemetry after every time you open an app. The notion that Chime is more private than comparable open-source editors is an outright lie, I welcome you to prove me wrong.
Cute but seems a bit too simple. I’m no fan of VSCode, I like my UI clean and simple (like Atom for example). Oh well, will continue waiting on Zed.

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.

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.
