It is a need you are not aware of. Maybe you can do everything in vim-go that you can do in IDEs but many people, including me, don’t want to learn vim and feel/are more productive in IDEs, especially as the code size grows. JetBrains only decided to offer the Go IDE after they saw the Go plug-in (that works in their other IDEs) take off. The demand is there.

Even knowing vim well (or rather emacs more so) I still prefer an IDE. The improvements to workflow are just something that I can't get out of emacs/vim, and for big projects those improvements are a necessity IMO.

That makes sense. Have you tried something like Visual Studio Code? To me that seems to be the half-way point between something like vim and a full blown IDE
