It isn't a big deal for you maybe. But I work in many different languages in a day. Switching IDE's/editors is a context switch I shouldn't have to make. Go is one small step in that direction.

You don't see an official recommendation because it's not necessary. Pretty much anything you use is going to have comparable functionality due to the work of the go team. Which is how I know that the Go team cares about tooling.

Even so you force every new developer to look around to find whatever he wants, which makes getting started more difficult.

Lets just say that I am a fan of the IntelliJ platform. Which plugin would I install to use with Go?
