I guess people in the React community are already used to massive dependency bloat, constantly failing vulnerability reports, library version incompatibility, huge install times, huge compile times, source mapping issues, dependency issues and build + linking issues across various environments so I guess TypeScript doesn't add much additional pain. But what if I told you that it's possible to build cleaner, more stable, higher quality apps without React, without TypeScript and without build steps and you can do it in half the time!

I'm listening...
With plain JavaScript + VueJS you get instant (0ms) build time, few dependencies, fast installation, no vulnerability reports, no version compatibility issues, no source mapping issues, no environment compatibility issues, no missing type definitions, no need to waste your precious time on renaming interfaces and you can code everything in half the time! And that's not all; for an unlimited time, this toolset is 100% free, not controlled by any mega-corporation and requires you to read less documentation. It's time that you took back control over your life with plain JavaScript + VueJS. We guarantee you'll love it or your money back guaranteed.
Well, I myself am certainly interested in going down that route, eventually (vs AngularJS, or, yikes, Angular 2+),

BUT, it appears that’s not a popular opinion on a post about Typescript and React.

I don’t seem to encounter many type and name errors when writing js, but I guess there is an audience for compile time checking, willing to pay the costs, and the industry certainly caters to them.
