I use it with my students because it is free and pretty easy for them to learn. I prefer JetBrains GoLand for my own work in Go because it has better Go support. For other coding or text editing, I sometimes use Sublime Text because it's much faster. I will also use Vim for some tasks that I know how to do efficiently in Vim, but using Vim requires a mental shift that is not always productive. I sort of miss the days when I worked in Vi or Vim all of the time, but that's not practical for my current situation.
