I went with TypeScript early on because the compiler chain felt better integrated than the alternatives. No messing with chains of babel translators and source mappings; just use one tool. Maybe I liked the syntax better, also. Although as I recall, in the beginning, somebody my company interviewed had set up TypeScript using Babel, and it was all very over-my-head and impressive. He turned out to be too good to work for us, but some of his ideas really stuck with me.
[1]This is why I dislike cutesy names for software projects. Just call it FacebookTypeAnnotatedJavaScriptFrobulator3003 (FTAJSF3003) or something.
