What I love about Go is its simplicity and no framework dependency. Go is popular because it has no dominating framework. Nothing wrong with frameworks when it fits the use case but I feel that we have become over dependent on framework and Go brings that freshness about just using standard libraries to create something decent with some decent battle tested 3rd party libraries.
I personally love "library over framework" mindset and I found Go to do that best.
Also, whether you want to build a web app or cli tool, Go wins there (for me at least). And I work a lot with PHP and .NET as well and love all 3 overall.
Not to mention how easy was it for someone like me who never wrote Go before to get up and running with it quickly. Oh did I mention that I personally love the explicit error handling which gets a lot of hate (Never understood why). I can do if err != nil all day.

A big Go fan.
