Didn't realize how difficult it was to get started with TypeScript compared to Flow. With Flow it has decent defaults so an empty `.flowconfig` is enough to get started. Having to install type definitions for Node in TS was another hurdle. In Flow they're built in.

Definitely agree about the Node typings part. What do you find lacking about the default tsconfig.json generated from the tsc --init command? Would you prefer not having to run that command and a blank tsconfig.json has those sane defaults?

Had no idea that command even existed. The tsconfig.json docs don't mention it at all. I've so far found the docs extremely confusing. I would rather not have a bunch of config options at all. From experience, their interactions aren't always necessarily stable.

To clarify, when I say "their interactions aren't necessarily stable", I'm referring to my experience with other tools that have a bunch of interacting options. So far TS has been great, it just makes me feel very uneasy.
