I tried it with VSCode. It's not really good but not that bad. I really like the concept. The problem is I cannot use libraries I intended to use such as Firebase, it's too much work to deal with. My skill is not sharp enough.

My experience was pretty nice, due to the rescript-vscode extension. The rescript team keeps releasing enhancements to this extension periodically, it is pretty sweet now compared to a few months ago!

Rescripts bindings are kind of an overhead sometimes, especially when we talk about big and complex libraries, such as firebase. In this case, you could create binding for specific functions to use them in .res files and/or use ts or js to manipulate other firebase functions that you are not feeling like binding to rescript.
