We need support for it in something like Monodevelop / Netbeans / Eclipse. A lot of the benefit I experience from strict(er) typing comes from the real-time help an IDE gives me - without a Windows/VS licence, I hardly feel compelled by Typescript at all.

works well with webstorm/phpstorm but i agree , useless without realtime help in a IDE.

Sometimes the compiler issues an error it is really hard to get what's wrong without visual clues , unless one likes to count lines and columns and switch between command line / text editor all the time.

Does the TS compiler even work with Syntastic(vim) by the way ?

I like TS , i use modules , classes and short hand functions declarations , but not the type system which doesnt make sense to me. It doesnt make sense with javascript and force back devs in all these java EE like patterns.
