What's the advantage of not having any build steps? For me personally, it's an instant turn-off, as I'll never use an untyped library.

No-build doesn't mean untyped.

You can typecheck pure js files using JSDoc.

faster and simpler deployment, e.g., rsync to your webserver, no need to wait for the build step.
The Zen of plain script tags.
