I've been using it for a couple of months for an Angular 5 app. So far, I'm overwhelmed by the configurations needed, which is compounded by contractual restrictions on adding new libraries and updates to TypeScript into our development environment.

After working with Dart for 8 months in an AngularDart app, I much prefer to go back to that then continue using TypeScript.

Dart still compiles to JavaScript, but has sound typing over TypeScript's static typing. And requires very little configuration out of the box.
