Description

Okay, so someone decided it's a good idea to forcefully install enable all the atom-ide-* packages and forcefully disable any conflicts with no apparent way to turn this off. I'm pretty mad about this. At least let the user (me) choose what they want to use. I'm very close to flipping out and denouncing this organization completely at this point, because I hate this forceful approach *with passion*. I'm still on Atom because I've set up it exactly how I want it. I don't need any opinionated dev messing with my settings at all.

For now, I think I'm going to remove all atom-ide packages from my system and scrub the dependencies on those from my projects, because those get in the way of doing actual work. I hope that gives you some food for thought.

Best regards.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points to investigate. Start by locating the code that installs, enables, and disables atom-ide packages, then clarify the intended opt-out behavior and conflict handling with maintainers. Done would require agreed acceptance criteria and tests showing that user package choices are respected.
