I use [atom.io ](https://atom.io/ ) with a bunch of plugins. Atom.io is made by github, it uses the webkit engine underneath so its a browser engine running a extensible editor. :-)
So far theres no debugger for Go and Atom.io.
[atomtips.com ](www.atomtips.com/atom-editor-vs-sublime-text/ ) explains my reasons to switch to Atom from Sublime quiet good.<!--more-->
