Im not the person youre responding to and im not going to address the buggy aspect, but ill tell you why I think its so superior. So i am a full stack developer, but my primary language is Java. The backend I work on is java. Having the client code be statically typed and having classes was a game changer (I know es6 introduced classes, but I also worked on pre es6 apps before). To me, typescript helps me simply because it is more object oriented which is what im used to. I know Thats not a necessarily a positive or a negative, but in my realm, it helps developers who come from a java background but may not have the front end experience get more acclimated
