That's like saying an angry bear has many of the benefits of a bicycle. It may be factually true but the downsides of riding an angry generally outweigh the benefits, and anyway it's a different kind of thing altogether from a bicycle.

It's nothing like that. The downsides of riding an angry bear relative to a bicycle also apply relative to just walking, to the point that it's always better to just walk than to ride an angry bear for transportation. The downsides of Flow.js or TypeScript relative to Elm don't at all apply relative to vanilla JS, it's often better to use them rather than vanilla JS.
