Babel actually started with the express goal of outputting human-readable Javascript. It obviously hasn't stayed that way. IMO, Typescript hasn't stayed that way either. Trying to shoot for a compilation target that is useable as source code is pretty foolish. The nice thing about Flow is that the compilation step is nothing more than stripping out the typing syntax. It is ACTUALLY easy to get rid of. I will say that the tooling is way better in Typescript.
