Exactly my sentiment. The only people I've met who are anti-TS are one of the following:

* Extremely opinionated people that are difficult to work with.

* Engineers who have only worked on smaller projects or codebases, and therefore haven't seen firsthand the real benefits of a typed codebase

* Non-FE engineers who just generally hate all JS-related stuff, and frequently opine that FE engineers aren't real engineers and have to re-learn the "latest fad framework" every year.

If I am interviewing someone and they start (likely unprompted) ragging on Typescript, there's a 95% chance one or more of the above bullet points describes them. Safer to move on to another candidate rather than take the chance that they're the other 5%.
