No it makes you start in an online pastebin env. It's the easy way for the tutorial writter, not the easy way for the learner. I teach React regularly, I tried all methods. The only one that make people click is to make them use a flat html page and React.createElement() manually in it first. On their laptop. Offline. With no other tools than a text editor. This way, you remove the magic, and when you bring it back, people make good use of it. Magic is good for power users. It's a bad things as a beginer's tool though.
