TypeScript has been around longer, and is more widely used. FWIW, the Angular team mentioned they talked with the Flow team - not sure what that will mean in the near term, but I get the impression that efforts might be in progress to unify the different libraries' efforts.

Flow doesn't work on Windows yet. Atom seems to be the only editor which supports it. That plugin had its 2nd release just 3 days ago.

  If I can get Flow to work in vim, I am sure it works in more than just Atom

    Define "get to work". I mean something like this: https://atom.io/packages/ide-flow https://atom.io/packages/ide-flow Tool-tips, call-tips, auto-complete, type checking, and so forth. The kind of stuff you get with TypeScript or Dart.
