Nuclide Reviews & Product Details

Very clean, intuitive, and productive interface (from Atom); a vast library of useful extensions; pretty clever tools for repo management and web development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Interactive Smartlog in particular can be a little too simplistic at times, leaving some debug messages from Mercurial hard to find and the user puzzling over why an operation is taking so long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the debugging options, specially tailored for React Native. Makes it really easy to debug your mobile App. You can also do remote debugging. It includes a toolbar that doesn't exist in the basic version of Atom, with easy access to debugging options and a handy "distraction-free mode". A new "Nuclide" menu adds tons of different options, worth mentioning access to iOS and Android logs.

Not exactly "dislike", but I feel like it has a ton of options, and some of them are not obvious and lack proper documentation. That being said, it's an Open Source project coming straight from Facebook so I am sure this will improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it's build on Atom, which before discovering Nuclide I was using exclusively. The vast supported packages library is very nice. It seem that anytime I can remember thinking 'I wonder if they have X' I have been able to either find it or easily customize it myself. Another huge plus is the nice support for the clang which is not easy to find in a user friendly IDE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I don't particularly like, which is just a very picky thing, is that the startup time of Atom is slower now. But even then it's only a hair slower, I guess I'm just kind of an important person. The only other thing is that one of the packages didn't install correctly and it reminds me every time I launch. Other than that no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nuclide provide some great enhancements to the Atom editor. There's definitely the potential to add all the functionality need to develop react-native with. The remote development feature is extremely powerful for environments when you can't develop locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tools a little too targeted. If you don't use mercurial or Buck or whatever else facebook feels is the best technology to use you're kinda out of luck. The toolbar should probably have the package manager too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent integration with Flow and linters allows problems to be picked up early. Since Nuclide is built on Atom you get to take advantage of the existing ecosystem which includes a wide range of plugins and optional extras to increase your productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Flow integration in Nuclide can be a little slow (though perhaps not a fault of Nuclide itself). Since this product is in active development they are moving very quickly and it can sometimes temporarily break although it is usually easy enough to resolve. The new simplified install mechanism is much easier to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about Nuclide is the fact that I can connect to a remote server and actually edit the files live from the server! It is really fast and lightweight making it a lot better from other heavier IDEs I have worked with before. Being lightweight it does not take too much RAM and processing power making multi-tasking like checking solutions in my browser an easy task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes intelli-sense is bit slower in resolving dependencies and hence it hampers the typing speed of the code! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The remote development functionality: once installed the watchman integration is fully functional and easy to use in taking care of file sync Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup of remote development, especially the interface to manage connections with the server and the poor error codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nuclide is based in ATOM IDE and it contains a lot of plugins that improve the usability and the productivity of the developer that is using it. It's awesome for web development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to think why I would to change my current IDE that I use to develop native applications.

XCode and Android Studio maybe are not as usable but they have a lot of features that Nuclide leaks off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Nuclide for flow, which forces you to cast types, which is pretty nice, and avoids a lot of problems that you might not necessarily test for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inconsistency with errors is kind of annoying. You could correct an error, and then it disappears, and you'll keep working and it'll be fine, but the next time you open a file, it'll pop up again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It speeds up react-native production by providing coding assistance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's built on top of Atom, so it naturally inherits Atom's bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
