For me the desire to use generics shows up once I've invested some time in making fancy types. When I work in C that point is never reached since problems are solved "the C way".
Personally I'm a huge fan of generics but I can understand how the keepers of Go might be reluctant to go down the path of C++, Java and C#.

I think that C# has a successfull implementation because it isn't just about syntax sugar. The runtime knows it. Generics+structs allows many optimizations.
