I personally use Dash.app (http://kapeli.com/dash).
I just wrote my first bit of Go last light. Loving the language so far, though I still feel like I am tripping up on managing dependencies.
Most of our developers seem more comfortable with ubuntu/debian than Arch as well.
I've been using ArchLinux for a while, but have been slowly moving to stock debian.
I took home the box that said 'FreeBSD', popped in the cd(s) and installed, reading the giant manual(s) that came with the discs along the way. I was horrified when I finally was finished, rebooted and was stuck at '$'. Having no real idea what I was doing, I had destroyed my windows installation, and the only way I knew to continue was to keep reading the manuals. My career started right here.
(I believe it was FreeBSD ~4.2, but can't seem to locate a picture of the boxed version.)
