I don't blame you, the linter/editor integration is not quite mature yet, but thankfully getting better. And I don't believe React is necessarily the right JS view library for all situations, though it's often one of many (many!) viable ones.

At the risk of getting long-winded, I like React, not because it is the best among its peers of JS view-layer libraries, but because it has an effective ecosystem that can give you a fairly consistent development experience in a somewhat narrow set of use cases.

To put it in more concrete terms, I see efforts like React Native as something that can give a single developer or a small team some reach into several different platforms with some reusability of the code base + tools + dev workflow, though none of the implementation will be the best-of-breed for any of the platforms (maybe with the exception of desktop web browser).

I could see many people disagreeing with it, and I could see myself being convinced by them, too. But really, it's something I've had easy enough time learning to use in production and made some parts of development work easier than the ball-of-mud feeling I had in the past using others, so I've found that to be a plus.

But I truly empathize with the red squiggly lines in the editors! :)
