I think they must have, it's not quite on the level of Goland, but VSCode with all the necessary extensions works well for Go, and doesn't eat 32GB of my RAM to do it.

That would be quite funny. In a thread about additional components being installed without prompts, a user jumps out to complain about missing functionality in another editor because they refused to install an additional component when prompted.
Quite. VSCode asks with a little pop-up in the bottom right (for me, on Gnome) when you open a project that might benefit from a particular component, and you can accept or decline it.
It tells you what/why it's needed, it's up to you to accept or decline, but you should accept that things won't work well if you don't.
I'm no Microsoft fan (quite the opposite), but VSCode handles this about as well as anything could.
except for giving network access to extensions having no way to audit if not open source.

Yeah I wonder why developers feel the need to auto install components…
