Which IDE to use?

There are many different IDE that you could use to code React Native, but there are some IDEs that shine better than others.

• Webstorm

One of my most favorite. Webstorm support javascript harmony beautifully. Mass refactor code, linking resource manager, error checking.

The downside is Webstorm is not a free IDE and it kind of laggy when running on a low-end machine.

Available on Mac OS, Windows and Linux.

• Visual Studio Code

Free. Open source. Runs everywhere. Have extensions market.

Available on Mac OS, Windows and Linux.

• Nuclide or Atom

One of the best React Native IDE on Mac OS. Nuclide is built as single packet on top of Atom.

• Reacttotron

Link download on desktop:https://github.com/infinitered/reactotron/blob/master/docs/installing.md

It's already config with the project, after installed the Reacttotron you can see list of Log, Image, connection, API, Redux actions....
