Document enabling Babel syntax highlighting

See original GitHub issue

We should document how to configure editors to support “Babel” syntax scheme (JSX, Flow, ES6) for all .js files. The instructions should be added to the user guide and should include popular editors:

Sublime Text 3
VSCode
Atom
WebStorm

This issue is up for grabs. If you decide to work on it, please comment here so we don’t duplicate effort. If somebody is already working on it, please give them time and don’t try to submit a PR first.

Thanks!

If we point CRA users at this page we’ll want a separate place because we don’t want them to enable transpilation in IDE. In fact this has been a source of mistakes before.
