The fact that Flow doesn't work on Windows is a big limitation.

I prefer the idea of Flow as well but tooling and community is not there yet

There are occasionally Windows builds by the OCamlPro people popping up.

The fact that last time I checked, it wasn't able to consume TSD signatures from third-party libraries (or offer an equivalent system with a significant amount of libraries) is a much bigger issue IMHO.

Not terribly related but I am starting to see this as a pattern on the internet:

When I bring up the latest and greatest (eg. Flow) it doesn't actually work on Windows because Windows is as I see it an after-thought for a lot of the Open Source world.

But I've brought up this exact problem (the lag in tooling) to .Net/Windows devs before and they've told me I'm wrong and that they've got all the latest and greatest dev tooling like everyone else.
