Well, for one. The tooling around Typescript is really good. Second, errors that would normally be caught at runtime are caught at compile time.

But I also agree with a few points there, typed Js still isn't typed. I think Typescript went for a middle ground approach in typical Microsoft style. I'm pro type systems, but the any type grinds my gears.
