Fair enough (though it looked as if at least some of the trouble was not inside IJulia).

I thought it might be interesting to try the Juno IDE, but met with a similar lack of success: first of all it told me I needed to do Pkg.add("Atom"); when I had done (not that but) the approximately equivalent ]add Atom, starting Juno yielded only a cascade of error messages (no method matching eval(::Module, ::Expr); failed to precompile Media; failed to precompile Juno; failed to precompile Atom).

Presumably, again, the answer is to wait a little for things to settle down. It feels as if it might have been better to get all the ducks in a row before declaring version 1.0, though...

Actually, you can try 0.7: this is more or less equivalent, but is backwards compatible with 0.6 (it will warn when incompatible uses are used).

Of course, more time would have been nice, but you can always find a reason for a delay. At some point you have to rip off the bandaid.
