 ## Usage
 
+`tsx` is designed to be a drop-in replacement for `node`, so you can use it just the way you would use Node.js. All command-line arguments (with the exception of a few) are propagated to Node.js.

 ## FAQ
 
+### Why is it named `tsx`?
+
+`tsx` stands for "TypeScript execute", similar to [`npx`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npx) ("Node.js package execute").
+
+It has an unfortunate overlap with React's [TSX/JSX](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsx.html), which stands for "JavaScript XML". However, we believe the naming is appropriate for what it does.
+
 ### Does it do type-checking?
 
 No, [esbuild does not support type checking](https://esbuild.github.io/faq/#:~:text=TypeScript%20type%20checking%20(just%20run%20tsc%20separately)).

 [Here's an exhaustive comparison](https://github.com/privatenumber/ts-runtime-comparison) between `tsx` vs `ts-node` (and other runtimes).
 
 If you migrated from `ts-node`, please share your performance gains [here](https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx/discussions/10)!
+
+
+### Can it use esbuild plugins?
+
+No. tsx uses esbuild's [Transform API](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#transform-api), which doesn't support plugins.
+
+### Does it have a configuration file?
+
+No. tsx's integration with Node.js is designed to be seamless so there is no configuration.
