The only reason of TypeScript fame was Angular popularity. Now, that React is beating angular, TypeScript will be beaten to death.

Not really. TS existed well before Angular 2.0 which uses Typescript.

Nothing is "beating" anything. I see plenty "Angular jobs" where I live, I saw very little "React jobs". Doesn't mean that Angular is better than React, but again, it certainly proves that one isn't "beating" the other.

I'll tell you why I'm using Typescript : It makes maintaining large JS codebases easier and it is simpler than Babel's plugin model.

You can use typescript which transcompile to babel. If you want to stop using ts you can use the babel output
