Completely agree.

I use C and C++ on a day to day basis, which has an extremely bad rap in the DX department. Even coming from languages that, by and large, have very poor DX, I find the JS and TS ecosystems to be intolerable. The tooling is extremely slow, buggy, and often produces straight-up incorrect results.

I originally came from a C background where the tooling is essentially the worst in the business (embedded) so yeah, I definitely know what poor DX looks like lol.

For me I would pick that again over the current state of Typescript/Javascript tooling. Atleast I felt like I had some semblance of sanity even when cobling together piles of CMake.
