I meet similar problem when using vscode with basic Go plugin configuration.

When I put all imports together, the plugin split the imports into multiple blocks (I used gofmt source.go it shows all imports are put together), and my go.formatTool was set to gofmt.

When I set "go.useLanguageServer": false in the settings file, it looks fine and the code is really formatted by gofmt tool.

Any idea?

If you want your imports to be organized on save then they will be grouped this way, as the default behavior of the goimports tool is to separate standard library and third-party imports. This is the structure for the majority of Go code, and I would recommend sticking with this default. (cc @heschik)

If you only want to use the language server but only have formatting on save (@ruinshe, I believe this is your case), then you can add the following configuration to your settings.json file:

"[go]": {
	"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
		"source.organizeImports": false,
	},
	"editor.formatOnSave": true
}
