I seem to forget to save sometimes also (granted, that would mess me up with javascript also), I'm just so used to straight C# in Visual studio!

Typescript also isn't a very fast compiler, it doesn't seem to be incremental or retained at all, so when you build your project, it take a few seconds when your project has grown beyond a certain size. Sometimes I build and then hit run too early (before the build is actually finished).

Ah yeah. I guess Webpack's boost would be lost if your project ends up at all complex as well.

Are you doing all of your TS dev in Visual Studio as well?

I'm using webpack on a ~60 TS files project now. It takes a few seconds to bootstrap, but then, in watch mode, it only compiles the files that are changed and it's really fast.
No, since leaving Microsoft I've been doing everything on a Mac via VS Code.
