Has anyone tried using Atom (atom.io) as an IDE? There's a go-plus package available (atom.io/packages/go-plus) that implements some functionality along with the go-rename package (atom.io/packages/go-rename) for refactoring. And then there's the go-debug package (atom.io/packages/go-debug) using Delve.

Seems like Atom might be the answer to a lot of the IDE issues. My two cents.

I use atom with golang and yes, it's so far so good a better IDE for golang than sublime.

That's probably because sublime is not an IDE, but a glorified text editor, same as Atom. Give a real IDE, like Gogland, a go and you'll soon find out what an IDE can do.
