The only thing is - to get a best you need to prepare. If you using some library, I should find (or write, or generate) proper definition file for this library (Interface). But when you get all together - you have a lot of happy hours of coding :)
Btw, based on typescript discussions, they are going to implement async/await functionality too.
Btw, TypeScript also aiming to fix context problem so in callbacks 'this' keyword is always related to parent class.
It is running on Linux/Mac/Windows (node.js module).
And already has support in all major IDE (Visual Studio, IntelliJ) and text editors (Sublime, Emacs, ..)
If you don't want to recompile it every time, you could just use better-require module: https://github.com/olalonde/better-require
This is the same as IDEA, but focused on Web Development and releasing new features much-much faster.
But best support offers MIcrosoft's Visual Studio. You could try Visual Studio Web Express (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-st...) if you are using Windows. It's totally free.

Btw, I've used it a lot, feel free to ask any questions.
Btw, I was impressed with what I saw today morning and just wanted to share my impression with other guys.
Btw, I've asked @mdo's opinion. Waiting for the answer.
Maybe you should try profile this page to understand what's going on.
Second main point - the framework now mobile ready - that mean a lot of mobile optimisations and widgets for mobile devices.
I think, I will turn it down after a while...
Found today, that Bootstrap Team is very close to finish Bootstrap 3(https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/pull/6342), but docs for bootstrap 3 doesn't work (http://rc.getbootstrap.com/), so I forked the repo and built it to watch for new features.
Enjoy!
