So why there are typescript extensions for eslint if both are linters for JS? You should either use eslint with JS or transpile TS to JS, right?

Are there bugs in TS that eslint can catch?

I personally never seen TS project with eslint.

Typescript compiler enforces language requirements, the linter enforces language best practices. Best practices help you avoid bugs.

Ok, I should check it out, then. Maybe I already follow all the best practices, so I wouldn't need it anyway. ;)

I try and follow best practices always too, but when the linter is catching it for you it's less to think about so you can focus on the important parts of the problem
