+1 I’m also much more interested in a simple install story for an existing Atom installation than a standalone juno bundle.

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. // T On Monday, March 28, 2016 at 10:26:06 PM UTC+2, Jonathan Malmaud wrote: Mike can step in, but I think it is indeed the plan to have a Julia IDE bundle, causing the exact packages required on the julia and atom side to be invisible implementation details from the user's POV.

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?
