I believe my intention was different. Reacto is about bringing all the required tools for react development, together at once, not to adapt to each current code editor. It is supposed to come out-of-the-box and not force the community to actually try to make it fit each editor. I personally use atom, sublime or vscode, depends from time to time. So this effort to create Reacto was more than just a plugin but an alternative from a code editor running a huge plugin — such as nuclide for atom. I totally understand this can be criticised but to me, it is simply a different way of considering tools for a given framework. It can and should be more than just a plugin.

Many thanks for the input, I hope this could make things a little clearer from my point of view.
