GoConvey vs Visual Studio Code: What are the differences?
<Write Introduction here>
- Test Framework Integration: GoConvey provides built-in test framework integration, allowing developers to run tests directly within the GoConvey interface, while Visual Studio Code requires extensions or external tools for the same functionality.
- Code Navigation: Visual Studio Code offers advanced code navigation features such as IntelliSense, code folding, and Peek Definition, providing a more robust coding experience compared to GoConvey.
- Integrated Development Environment: GoConvey focuses primarily on testing tasks and lacks the extensive integrated development environment features found in Visual Studio Code, such as debugging tools, version control integration, and customizability.
- Language Support: Visual Studio Code supports a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, making it a versatile tool for developers working with various technologies, while GoConvey is specifically designed for testing Go applications.
- Community Support: Visual Studio Code has a large and active community of developers contributing extensions, plugins, and support resources, ensuring continuous updates and improvements, while GoConvey's community is smaller and more specialized in Go testing-related topics.
- Ease of Use: Visual Studio Code is known for its user-friendly interface and intuitive design, simplifying the coding process for developers, whereas GoConvey may have a steeper learning curve for those unfamiliar with its testing workflow.
In Summary, Visual Studio Code offers a more comprehensive integrated development environment with advanced features, diverse language support, and a larger community, while GoConvey specializes in Go testing with built-in framework integration but may lack certain IDE functionalities and widespread support.
Decisions about GoConvey and Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code became famous over the past 3+ years I believe. The clean UI, easy to use UX and the plethora of integrations made it a very easy decision for us. Our gripe with Sublime was probably only the UX side. VSCode has not failed us till now, and still is able to support our development env without any significant effort.
Goland being paid, as well as built only for Go seemed like a significant limitation to not consider it.

I decided to choose VSCode over Sublime text for my Systems Programming class in C. What I love about VSCode is its awesome ability to add extensions. Intellisense is a beautiful debugger, and Remote SSH allows me to login and make real-time changes in VSCode to files on my university server. This is an awesome alternative to going back and forth on pushing/pulling code and logging into servers in the terminal. Great choice for anyone interested in C programming!
