I couldn't agree more. I've been using the new ES6 style module syntax for a few days now because a co-worker forced me to, so he would use my library.

I'm not convinced its worth it compared to the simplicity of commonjs and module.exports. You have to pull in babel, which has over 40k files to do all this.

Why are people destroying the beautiful simplicity that is javascript? Can those people please go back to java?
