When comparing GoSublime vs Origami, the Slant community recommends GoSublime for most people. In the question“What are the best plugins for Sublime Text?” GoSublime is ranked 10th while Origami is ranked 25th. The most important reason people chose GoSublime is:
* code completion from Gocode * context aware snippets via the code-completion popup to complement the existing SublimeText Go package. * sublime build system(ctrl+b) integrating with GoSublime 9o command prompt * lint/syntax check as you type * quickly jump to any syntax error reported (and jump back to where you were before (across files)) * quickly fmt your source or automatically on save to conform with the Go standards * easily create a new go file and run it without needing to save it first (9o replay) * share your snippets (anything in the loaded file) on play.golang.org * list declarations in the current file * automatically add/remove package imports * quickly jump your import section(automatically goes to the last import) where you can easily edit the pkg alias and return to where you were before * go to definition of a package function or constant, etc. * show the source(and thus documentation) of a variable without needing to change views

Origami was actually built to help Facebook designers work on Paper, one of Facebook's latest apps. Every animation that is coded into Origami was first made for Paper. It uses powerful 3D effects and some of the most advanced features for scrolling, tapping and swiping to create a faithful and interactive prototype.
Pro Native testing
Developers can develop their prototypes with origami through their desktops, but the testing itself is done on the native devices.
Pro No code required
Origami is built by designers for designers. As such, it allows for quick prototyping without writing a single line of code.
Pro Open source
Origami is free and open source and it is hosted on GitHub.
Pro Like only-Mac-integration! Great app! Thank you.
Cons
Con Steep learning curve
Origami is a toolkit for Quartz Composer, and unfortunately the learning curve for it is quite steep. Especially for beginners.
Con Mac only
Since Origami is not an app in and on itself, but a plugin for Quartz Composer, which is built by Apple. Therefore, Origami is only available for Mac and for a developer to download and use it, they need to register as an Apple Developer.
Con Mouse driven interactions
There's no way to directly test the tactile interface.
