The JavaScript ecosystem was perfect before 2015. Everything just worked! Then either Hanlon's razor or sabotage. Instead of using the existing standard module system, a new module system was invented that was so alien to the JS ecosystem that now 5 years later it's still broken. I wish ES6 modules where reverted and removed from the JS standard.
Then the standard body not only completely changed the syntax of the language itself, but it also now requires a preprocessor/transpiler...
