As far as using the new features, how many people actually can&#x2F;are? I can agree that they&#x27;re needed, and I&#x27;m glad that they&#x27;re coming, but support in browsers is variable at best, meaning you can&#x27;t really use it in the front-end for anything in production without a transpiler, which IMHO mostly defeats the purpose. When you try to actually debug something, you have to deal with the mental translation of going back and forth between the translated&#x2F;compiled stuff that&#x27;s actually running and the source code.<p>Could be different for stuff running in Node on the server, but then according to this, Node native support for ES6 features varies between bare-bones and not very tested to nonexistent. So we&#x27;re back to transpilers again, not quite as much of a pain on the server, but still not great.
