If you are using VS Code 1.30 or older and are using a workspace version of typescript, you must currently configure the TS Server plugin manually by following these instructions Configuration You can either configure the TSLint extension using a tsconfig or jsconfig as described here, or configure it with VS Code settings.

So here are mine:. I use C# and I love its type system and TypeScript shares a lot with it. They're both by the same language designer and he's proven his ability and experience in creating practical programming languages. Flow hasn't had it's first major release yet, and it's been almost 5 years since its inception! I cannot rely on a technology where even its developers still aren't certain of the direction it's taking. Microsoft have a history of creating great tech that stands the test of time. Which is why their technology is so popular in enterprise software development where large projects are expected to last a long time.
I can rely on them to support and maintain a technology for decades (example.NET and C#). The flip side of this coin is why I would never use Dart. Google is not someone I trust with long-term support. I use C# and I love its type system and TypeScript shares a lot with it. They're both by the same language designer and he's proven his ability and experience in creating practical programming languages. I would agree, however I believe that the type system itself (and its capabilities) are only important to certain extent, and it's other factors that matter more in practice like ease of use and (unfortunately for Flow) market adoption.

What's weird is that TypeScript claims to be a 'programming language', however now it's really hard to find its 'superset' part compared to ES Next, so basically it is used as a type checker by most users (just like Flow). Flow hasn't had it's first major release yet, and it's been almost 5 years since its inception! I cannot rely on a technology where even its developers still aren't certain of the direction it's taking. Can't see it as a downside, as Node itself was in 0.X.X while massively in use. Also, it seems that Facebook is not that that eager to produce 1.X.X releases - React native still being non-stable can serve as a good example here. Yeah I agree with most of what you said. But why market adoption is better for TypeScript we can speculate all day.
It could be that Microsoft was better at marketing it, it could be timing, it could be that people find it more practical, or it could be a combination of all of those. Regardless we have the state of the market share as we do. Personally, I don't judge any technology based on popularity. If I like something I use it. Most employers don't give a damn whether you're experienced with Flow or TypeScript. If you know one of them learning the other is a breeze.
