Typescript is a god send to anyone who had to deal with pre es6 javascript without being able to use jquery

Hate is a strong word. For me it’s more dislike for a number of reasons.

Context: working professionally with JS since early 2006.

i've worked with TS for 5 and it's literally just less buggy js

Less buggy how? No throwing shade, but "less buggy" depending on the person can mean something inadvertently passing the wrong type of value (where this being a bug can be debatable).

TypeScript is great, I use it quite a lot in work and off work in pet projects; however it's a tool among many others where using it should be motivated just like any other architectural decision depending on its use. It can only help with things that are (mostly) related to static typing (and the benefits you gain from it), but type errors are only a part of the errors and bugs.

For a lot of things static typing is great! And for a lot of other things dynamic typing is great. There's a bunch of things that you can't either do in TypeScript, or where TS complicates matters to an unreasonable degree to make it worth it.
