What's the most commonly used IDE for golang development ?

Not common, but worth a mention: I've been using LiteIDE (https://github.com/visualfc/liteide/releases/latest) since Atom + Go dev ceased development.

There is liteide too: https://github.com/visualfc/liteide Is not super amazing but it does the job and since is purely for Go it has a few nice features. And it's very lightweight!

If this is the kind of thing you are interested in, I would strongly recommend LiteIDE:
http://liteide.org/en/
https://github.com/visualfc/liteide/releases
It's actively developed, FOSS (LGPL), native C++ (Qt), runs on Windows/macOS/Linux, supports go.mod, and uses gocode/gotools for intellisense instead of gopls. It has integrated debugging, go to definition/usages, and some refactoring support.
