The lack of integrated terminal or method of running a go program makes me question what use this is to someone. Until either of those is implemented, this is a no-go for me. Not even mentioning that it costs money to use without adding any value over free editors.
Looks like the application requires macOS v12, which is only a year old. What features does it require that means it can't be backwards-compatible? Is it a SwiftUI thing?

I am a paid customer and I've been trying to use it, but it's not useful yet. I bought this as a specialized IDE for Go but then they added Ruby and other languages I don't really care about and Go is not in focus anymore, so, what's the point of being one of the many - Nova, CodeEdit, Sublime Text, VS Code, you name it!<p>I am disappointed!
I just downloaded this to give it a trial and so far my exprience has been infuriating. I go to quick open a file - it takes 5 seconds to provide me a suggestion, I select my suggestion and hit enter, nothing, I double click, nothing, I hit the space bar, nothing.... Okay, let me maximise the window, I double click the window title, nothing, hmm, let me double click where the window controls are, nothing. It hardly feels 'Mac native'.<p>edit: after typing this out and letting it rest in the background, the quick open now actually opens a file.
Seemed interesting based on the amount of languages the editor supports on paper, but a quick trial showed that at least C# support is very, very barebones, even theoretical, as I couldn't get any kind of autocomplete to work, for example. After few minutes of usage Im unsure of what it provides aside from some syntax coloring. Maybe I did something wrong?
For context, this is probably posted after Apple ExtensionKit[1] made it to the homepage of HN.<p>[1]: <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/extensionkit" rel="nofollow">https://developer.apple.com/documentation/extensionkit</a>
I'd expect the website to describe some of the features, but I can't seem to find any real sales effort. Lots of stellar competition in this area considering Mac-only editors alone: TextMate, BBEdit, Nova.
