I may be used to Atom or my VI plugin manager that show the descriptions, settings, and more of the plugins that can be installed, but I am not seeing where to do so here? I would love to switch editors even if only for Elm work because Atom has a fairly crashy tendency (not its fault admittedly but rather a few plugins that I shall keep nameless but that I require... >.<).

I have the docs up in Atom as well. I've not needed dependency viewing yet so I've not looked around for that.
