Every decision is a trade-off. If you call TypeScript complicated, what do you call maintaining a 1000+ component-based web app without types? Please try to understand that every decision is a trade-off. Also, all the major frameworks default to non-TypeScript documentation, so nothing is getting more complicated.

Sure, the problem is that people are making the trade-off without justifying the decision.
