## What it is
go-plus is an Atom editor package that provides an enhanced Go development experience with autocomplete, formatting, linting, build, test, and code navigation features. It integrates tools like gocode, gofmt, golangci-lint, and guru directly into the Atom editor.

## Use cases
- autocomplete for go in atom
- format go code on save
- run go tests and show coverage in editor
- lint go code with golangci-lint
- go to definition and find usages in atom
- view go documentation for identifiers

## When to choose
- you are still using the Atom editor for Go development
- you want an all-in-one Go IDE experience inside Atom

## When to avoid
- you use any editor other than Atom (Atom was sunset in December 2022)
- you are starting a new Go project - use VS Code with gopls or GoLand instead
- you need maintained tooling with active support
