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-->
