Experts mention that it could be the fun competition of react-native-debugger , including network management, layout inspector, React devtools including state handlers!
Flipper is a tool that until now was handled properly in their respective Android Studio or XCode IDEs, but it gained a lot of popularity because it allows debugging both applications from this tool.

We have seen many react native developers using the react native debugger from chrome, not the best! using this debugger basically puts development in an environment under the chrome V8 engine, which sometimes creates strange behavior, not in all cases. That is why there are tools like Hermes created to improve the performance of our applications.

Versions 0.62 vs Versions
The difference is that react native 0.62 contains Flipper installed by default. :)
Network Inspector
Access to requests, payloads, headers, body, request, response, including the ease of doing a search.
Layout Inspector
We have already seen this in other tools, including react-native-debugger, it supports other Litho tools and ComponentKit, you can see properties, props and state of the components. Something very useful that it allows is to be able to modify the attributes in real time, saving a lot of reloading time.
