is godep relevant still, or is 1.6 making something like govendor a "better" way to go?
I switched to Glide, a vendor-focused package manager, on 1.5. I think the community has already decided in favor of this approach. Post 1.5, Godeps' workflow just feels weird and unnecessary.

Use godep everywhere. It supports the vendor folder, and I find it's still a great solution (and saves me using submodules).
Is it that bad now in 1.6 with vendor support? And a tool like `govendor` makes it easy to stick things inside of vendor.

To be blunt, google's priority is google, not the open source community or other companies using golang. Dependency management wasn't a priority because of mono repo. Having said that, they are pretty good about improving things for everyone, but it will never be like a company such as Typesafe whose product is the language and tooling itself.
