### Typo Protection
You don't get typos like one dev doing `import Foo from "./foo";` and another doing `import foo from "./foo";`

### Greppability

Default exports cannot be easily grepped across the whole codebase. With named exports it's trivial to find all the uses of an exported token even from a basic terminal, without the need to spin up a typescript language server.

### TypeScript auto-import
