I think this is a temporary problem. What is now called ES2015 (or ES6) was largely part of ES4 that got abandoned. Once most of ES2015 is in browsers and current versions of Node, especially modules, I think the need to transpile will be much less. Eventually JavaScript will syntactically be close to "done" and we won't need transpilers any more.

Things like async/await should be top priority IMO. I'd almost rather just start from scratch so there's not a ton of weird legacy baggage.
