I believe you may have some mis-information. As a long time user of babel and a early typescript supporter it is my experience that configuring ts is much much less difficult and less a pain then babel. Now with every single editor I am familiar with shipping with first class ts support just a 5 line tsconfig.json file is enough for a common config. tsc -p tsconfig.json. JavaScript is a extremely messy world of code compared to other languages and in my experience ts helps with this. Having a type system ensures possibility of a bug-riddled code base is massively reduced right from first debug session since it helps to author more scalable and clear code as you type it since we developers are all human and tend to make simple mistakes often. Babel has been dead to me the past few years since adopting ts.
I can see the benefit of TypeScript and only recently started seeing the benefit that comes with it.
From what I've read, TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript so I thought I could've simply wrote React components the same way you do with vanilla JavaScript but didn't go well, mostly because I was too lazy 😓 to learn at the time.
I decided to learn TypeScript to use for React ever since I found this sw-yx/react-typescript-cheatsheet & a nice curated TypeScript learning site 👇

Thank you, Tommy for sharing your experience.

From your GitHub page, it seems like you have a .NET background, as well. I'd love to read/see if you would share what you've learned & learning 🤜.
