Not Standard
TS abides strictly by ES standards and doesn't add any new syntax features for the language. this is a pivot from how things worked back then, and a good one. TS still has some language features left behind from "the olden days", but they're largely avoided (outside of Angular, but that's more of a criticism at angular than TS)
Not Community Driven
I don't have a strong opinion when it comes to how "community driven" some projects should be, but TS is receiving fast progress on things people really like, so I'd say the project is managed well
