My point of view: Even I have the same aversion towards TypeScript. I feel it's about the language construct. Coming from a PHP & JavaScript background, I love the duck typed languages - as opposed to the typed ones.

I love the freedom of assignment without declaring the data type and mixing & matching the assignment of different types of data and reusing the variable. I don't really see a reason why should I use TypeScript, if I am coding stuff with, say, Notepad or Vim.
