It would be nice, though, if it were somewhere documented - or even better, 
a meta-package with dependencies on all the others - to allow turning an 
already existing Atom installation into a Julia IDE *too*. I'd be much more 
interested in improving an editor I'm already using for other thing, than 
in installing yet another atom-sublime-vscode-like (they all look the same 
nowadays...) editor just to get the Julia goodness.

This is, of course and as already noted, definitely not urgent, but I think 
it should be on the road map.
