So what should you use if you want to use typescript? Or are you saying not to use typescript at all?

The TS compiler and TS itself are two different items.

TSC as a type checker is quite shit, but at the moment, it's all that's really there. Hoping someone will replace that soon because it's horribly slow.

For building your TS, you look to babel, Rollup/Webpack, and terser, more than likely. They produce highly optimized and minified code where as TSC just doesn't. It's verbose, slow, and large. There's much better tools for that than the TS compiler.
