I m wondering if this is why half my IDE doesn t work... I m working in an 8 year react app built with JS without the types, navigation is a nightmare. I tried to install @types/react but it wouldn t let me, it conflicted with backbone, an old limb hanging off the app with gangrene.
Thus, do these type dev only installations provide any benefit to the developer if writing a JS app, or are they only beneficial to TS projects?
My suspicion is there is some benefit to imports and IDE functionality, but obviously not typing.
