Were those headaches saved by TS compile step or by the type safety TS gives you? Because the latter, you still have it with JSDocs/JS files, it's the same tool (TS) analyzing your code, building the type definitions and having your editor scream at you when you mess something up.
Thing is, 98% of the code I write is being transpiled anyway, so it's actually more of a hassle to not use TS in this environment.
When I do write code that doesn't absolutely have to be transpiled, I may definitely explore this JSDoc stuff. Transpiling stuff isn't giving me very much trouble at the moment, though.
