Exactly my sentiments.<p>The module system is definitely needed.<p>For better or worse, npm&#x27;s already become the defacto JavaScript package manager. It works automatically with every environment outside the browser and we&#x27;re fine using whatever module system that is compatible with it in the browser. (I use Browserify)<p>These tricks aren&#x27;t really new. We had them in ES5. The syntax may be easier to parse for experts .. people with multiple languages under their belts ... but these changes aren&#x27;t really newbie friendly.<p>Is the new syntax worth it?
