Nice! Thanks for reporting on this.

As an existing user of Atom, the optional IDE-PHP plugin will make the ATOM core better. Even the atom-ide-ui plugin package is separate. Those that don't want a more IDE like experience can just ignore these offerings. Seems like a very accommodating way of pushing these new changes.

I'm gonna check it out even while in beta and hopefully it's not an alpha labeled as a beta. Lol.
