I should add that another big part of the reason I've been avoiding the language for years is the cult of Golang telling me my complaints are "totally naive and irrational".
I don't mind GOPATH, but I did argue that if vendoring was to be a thing then it needed to be dropped entirely. I was also not a fan of the vendoring mechanism.
The approach given here looks much more thought out getting rid of each, first proposal I've actually liked.
e.g. the most-popular one I can see so far is Facebook's "inject", which has a remarkably small 841 stars: https://github.com/facebookgo/inject
Even Glide, Godep, and Dep have several thousand. And those can barely claim "most", much less "very common".

(I've linked to the exact point in the article where it talks about DI but you might want to read the rest as well.)
But that just means that everyone rolls their own thing by hand, with widely-varying feature-sets, method names, bugs, etc. DI frameworks are very much nicer for interop between a bunch of libs.
