I really wish that MS would release typescript as a collection of plugins for babel that would handle only one thing at a time (eg, the type system). Having my production build, es6 transpiler, type system, JSX compiler and so on (including a bunch of features I would rather didn't exist at all) all in one package feels like a failure of separation of concerns.
I understand that people find Babel's plugin ecosystem confusing and intimidating (it is), but I don't think a separate monolithic typescript that reimplements popular babel functionality is the answer.
