- You can see which version of typescript is being used in VS Code in the bottom-right corner while a typescript file is open.

- It does take a lot of time to get a TS environment setup, but I have to agree with the previous commenter, the benefits are completely worth it. This is just my opinion of course, but it's allowed me to finally treat JS as a development option.

No, you can't, and I have the latest version of VS Code (I can link to a screenshot if needed). This illustrates the confusion around the tooling. Many TypeScript answers on SO do not even work with the latest versions of the tools

That's very odd. I'm quite new to VS Code, so this could be confusion on my part. I am running on the latest TS (typescript@beta and typescript@next before that), so perhaps that's why I see the version number.
