You're not alone, and I suspect TS crowd is still a vocal minority. But TS is very viral by nature. You can only go in one direction (JS -> TS). TS promises "type safety", which is mostly a lie, but sounds really good. It also promises to be purely additive, so choosing it seems like a no-brainer. TS is a next step in a JS-engineer career, once you learn it it's hard to admit that it was a waste of time. Especially when there's nothing but praise around, humans are conformist by nature. Being viral doesn't make it good. But it means that it will keep spreading, until community gets a TypeScript fatigue.
