Works great. Just isn't part of core. Meteor core is stubbornly trying to force use of atmosphere for everything. But everyine I know immediately installs https://github.com/meteorhacks/npm which allows for using regular npm packages.

I think inevitably the meteor team will bring this into core, or something similar, and we will be able to have our mix of atmosphere and non libraries.

Thanks. Should any other packages be in core that are not?

A router. But I don't think the community has quite solidified around a single router yet.

Iron-Router was the lead for a while.

I don't think these should necessarily be in core, but here is my list of pretty much always-installed modules:
