I don't think so.
 
In the download page there is already a choice of (two extra.. when 
JuliaBox is thought of as such) "distributions", if you will:

"We provide several ways for you to run Julia:

   - In the terminal using the built-in Julia command line.
   - The Juno <http://www.junolab.org> integrated development environment 
   (IDE).
   - In the browser on JuliaBox.com" <https://www.juliabox.com>

That is Juno includes Julia (from memory), so you could have a 
combinatorial explosion.. core packages in a distributions x possible IDEs 
x possible debuggers..

I'm all for a MATLAB like distribution that can compete, with Juno I guess 
(JuliaComputing promotes Ecplise IDE integration..). I hope people can 
agree on something, and avoid a combinatorial explosion.

For myself, I really like julia-lite to be available (it is unofficially).
