Hiding files and directories is part of the Atom core, why do you need a third-party package for it?

AFAIK they only get excluded from indexing, if you don't want them to show in the sidebar, that's something else.

I may be wrong, so please let me know :)

It's part of Atom's own tree-view package. You can either edit the options [1] or add this to your config.cson (under the "*" key):

  "tree-view":
    hideIgnoredNames: true
    hideVcsIgnoredFiles: true
