React intellisense in Visual Studio Code
I think you need to add jsconfig.json to the root of your workspace
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript#_javascript-projects-jsconfigjson
[Note: you can even leave the jsconfig.json file empty]
I had the same issue with angular this resolved it for me.
Hope this helps!!
Now that typings (and for that matter tsd) are both no longer recommended. I found the one line answer for my situation was just to include type definitions from npm with the command
npm i @types/react --save-dev
intellisense picked up the new definitions for me immediately in Visual Studio Code, but perhaps for someone else you may need to restart your VSCode window.
I'm not sure if it's relevant but my app was created with create-react-app with the latest version.
If anyone else encounters this question in March or April 2016, you might also wish to check this issue in github to see if it has been closed:

Essentially, using import React, { Component } from 'react' ES6-style module import causes Salsa's Intellisense not to work, the workaround is to use require:var React = require('react'); var { Component } = React;
