We like the fact that TypeScript is a full ES.next to ES.x compiler. No need to also include Babel and a bunch of plugins in the build.
But the biggest TS advantage has to be the size of the ecosystem. There are quite a few libraries written in TypeScript, and there are type definitions for pretty much all popular JS libs (and quite a lot of obscure ones). The Flow defs ecosystem seems to be fairly anaemic by comparison.
