Sorry, I have to disagree. I used React before with JS and moved to TS, and the difference is just night and day. Forgot a prop? Wrong parameters in a function? Forgot to import a component? TS catches all these while JS doesn't.

What problems specifically do you have with TS on the frontend?

Spot on. 3 years ago I threw a huge tantrum and almost quit my job because they forced us to use TS. Today, I would never code for more than myself without TS. I see it really as more of a "contract system" than a "type system" and that's the real subtle genius of it.
