I agree. But If i recal this feature request was declined because "its out of the scope of the project" "use something else"... "we already have a solution in place" (and that solution sucks btw).... and many other nonsense reasons. Would be much easier for everyone if ts would translate project absolute paths to relative paths. If the reasoning "many developers need this out of the box" is aint enough.. why is typescript still in development then?
