A.

First a specific matter:

http://julialang.org/downloads/

I see PyPlot. I'm not asking for recommendations, just discussiong what 
should be officially pointed to [in general].

I can understand that you would not want to take side (or maybe you do, 
PyCall.jl is awesome and I guess PyPlot/matplotlib, I just haven't used any 
plots..).


Maybe the plan is or should be to recommend (only?) Plots.jl (and not 
Gadfly since):

"Deprecated backends
Gadfly"


See also: https://juliaplots.github.io/supported/

It's clearly not a simple choice.. and since Plot.jl is just an abstract 
wrapper (that seems awesome!) it's not taking sides pointing to it.

I also really like UnicodePlots :) that may be the only pure-Julia only 
solution..? Maybe leave that implicit in the Plots.jl recommendation?


[Maybe the homepage just hasn't been changes yet, as Julia 0.5 isn't out 
and Plots.jl turned 0.5 only.]


B.

Juno is also recommended. I expect there is no change, expect the newer 
Atom-version is now ok and recommended? I've also not tried (seriously) in 
a while.. Any other notable [to add to homepage]? I understand if you do 
not want to confuse people with choices, why A. seems safe..


C.

There's another thread on "metapackages" (proposal), should there be more 
[abstract wrapper/meta] package recommendations?
