I don't understand the marketing here. What distinguishes a unified IDE from an IDE?

I guess all modern IDEs can be considered unified at this point, but the idea is that all the tools and integrations are part of it - including the build process, typechecker, etc.

Before you would have to run all these in the background + have your IDE open (ie. Sublime Text).

Of course Sublime Text has plugins itself now too, but you get the idea.

It's similar to developing emacs-lisp packages with emacs. It's a dream.

So where's the download? Where's the source? I don't want to have to join a Facebook group for updates.

pretty much this. got excited and then I need a FB account...

Facebook to the right, Stallman to the left. When I write code, I use tools written by Stallman. When I communicate with friends and family, I use Facebook. There is no contradiction here: they are both useful, and useful is the yardstick by which reality judges memes.

From what I gathered of the talk, they mean unifying the build, debugging, and analytics tools. So no more need to have Terminal, Xcode, and Chrome Dev tools open

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Slow compared to ST, but usable, and some buggy behavior at times, but mostly usable (I use it for JS and Rails dev across numerous projects)

Slow and buggy text editing!

text editing is mostly ok for me: biggest bug is the full screen bug on OSX (it'll create a modal on the wrong full screen, but when you switch, the modal disappears, but still blocks the UI - only solution is hard kill, meaning you lose progress if the modal was a Save dialog)

With Nuclide, you can build for iOS, Android, and the web. Most IDEs only support one of these platforms well.

Although I am disappointed by the current speed of Atom, I have no doubt it will improve. I think it is the most exciting OSS IDE out there. We hope to slowly converge on JS+Flow as the main front-end language at Facebook, and it will be a huge win to build tooling in the same language as the product.
