I suggest you trust your own reasoning and intuition more. TS is cool and all but it is not the silver bullet that the dogmatic part of its community makes it out to be. Most importantly it does not come without tradeoffs or costs (like everthing else). For some projects and some programmers the benefits are larger than the costs but it is not always the case. Should you learn it? By all means yes. Should you use it? When it's appropriate. Should you adopt a victim mentality and worship at its feet? No way sir.
