Searching for “Juno” yields 9 results in the v1.7.3 documentation and 11 results in the 1.8.0-rc1 documentation. Some of the references make no mention of the fact that Juno is no longer actively developed:

> To see the profiling results, there are several graphical browsers. One “family” of visualizers is based on [FlameGraphs.jl](https://github.com/timholy/FlameGraphs.jl), with each family member providing a different user interface:
> 
> - [Juno](https://junolab.org/) is a full IDE with built-in support for profile visualization
> - [ProfileView.jl](https://github.com/timholy/ProfileView.jl) is a stand-alone visualizer based on GTK  
> …

When I started learning Julia in late 2020, the switch to VSCode had already taken place, but because of reading mentions like that above, I didn’t realize that and started on the Juno editor instead.

I wonder if references to Juno should be removed or annotated where they appear in the documentation to nudge new users into using a better IDE—all the more so now that Github has announced that it is sunsetting the Atom project on which Juno is based.

Yeah, that should be fixed.
