I actually think TS team is much closer to the community than Flow's. Just look at the number of open and closed Issues on GitHub.

To me, Flow feels like something they needed in Facebook and they happened to open source. Their main focus is still FB's internal use and the direction is set by it.

TypeScript, on the other hand, does not feel like this at all. They truly put the community first, or so I - and many others - feel like.

This is how most Facebook tools feel to me. It makes me afraid to use them. React is possibly an exception, but again -- too afraid to use it because Facebook's open-source offerings seemed to have only selfish goals in the past and often seem to be full of important bugs.
