Reading this thread hurts. I imagine the frustration.
I'm still mostly an observer, but as an observer, I see the guys behind the
scenes with the skills to address these issues are working super hard to
get Juno/Atom (Juno2) at feature parity with the prior Juno. At that point,
support for the old Juno will probably drop to almost nothing because
attention and limited resources will be focused on Juno2 (which may already
be the case).
I've asked my developers to switch to Julio 0.4 RC1 and Juno2. Although it
might be a little unpolished at the moment, I think this is one small way
we can contribute back, i.e. supporting the new path and reporting issues
(fixing them if we can).
With the pace of development I see on Github, I expect Juno2 will be the
way to go very soon.
Serge, you mentioned you had some problems with
Pkg.checkout("JuliaParser"), which is keeping you from using Juno2. What
was the problem? You might consider filing an issue
<https://github.com/jakebolewski/JuliaParser.jl/issues> or pursuing it
here. It is probably worth the effort to get Juno2 to work.
Good luck! Wish I could help more.
