I think the user experience for almost all people would be much easier if they install Atom, then add one package for julia support and everything works. Having multiple Atom packages (julia-language, ink, julia-client, latex-completion and Jude right now) makes things confusing for most people, installation a pain and most people probably won’t even discover all of these packages.
Maybe another solution to this would be to eventually have one “juno” package that automatically installs all the individual useful plugins for Atom that make it a good julia IDE. I also don’t think any of this is urgent, right now the whole Atom story is so experimental in any case that most likely only a small number of people is using it in the first place.

Why do you think they should merge?
