delve is needed to use the debugger. But the command "Go: Install tools" does not yet install it.

That's because in Mac its an easy go get to install delve.
See https://github.com/derekparker/delve/blob/master/Documentation/installation/osx/install.md

On the other hand, it is a valid argument that Go: Install Tools should install delve in Windows and Linux.

Thanks for reporting!

Homebrew does not install the same version as go get -u.

@dolmen can you elaborate your concern?

Well, I'm not an OS X user, so go get -u is really fine and I don't know much about Homebrew.
But Go developers on OS X may be interested in having the latest Delve features. Installing Go tools is so easy with go get that everyone deserve it!

Yes, I agree, but that's how the delve needs to be set up in Mac as per instructions from the owner's of delve. So, nothing much can be done from our side.

Oh, you're right: build of Delve on OS X is not as easy as for any other Go app. I had missed the link you posted above. Sorry.

And thanks for the patch.

Fix is out in the latest update (0.6.56) to the Go extension
