dude lost me after pointing about IDE. Wtf, this is not an advantage. This sounds like a "microsoft" arguments. You want to compare productivity? Have you seen how many ready-to-use components there are in RN community? This is the real productivy advantage, not an IDE.

But I aggree with all the problems of javascript, they were my excuses to not learn javascript, and here I am, writting RN apps. Things happens in RN world man, you gotta move to the winning side and leave your pride. Get over it.
