> What is annoying is when you are stuck on something and can't continue because you can't figure out the type of a specific object (and you've disabled any / or you are on the strictest settings).

In VSCocde I can hover over variable names to display the type of an object in a tooltip. I assume this information is available for other editors as well via the typescript language server.

Also in VS Code you can click F12 to go to the definition. When importing something new, I will often do this & then spend time reading through all of their type information. This often makes amazing documentation!

When TypeScript first came out, this really helped me learn JavaScript & DOM types that browsers treated differently. It also helped me learn to write cross browser compatible JavaScript without depending on jQuery.
