ES2015 features?

[Samantha Atkins]

I love ES6 for classes, arrow functions.  I avoid its Set and Map as I
don't think they are well written.  Spread properties are useful for
passing state to child components but outside that I seldom find myself
using them in my own React frontend work. Rest parameters I haven't found
much use for although the cdr like possibilities are obvious.
 Destructuring is another that I have seldom had a need for.    So I
wouldn't go overboard getting every single feature.

But given the right boilerplate to except ES6 features can't parenscript
just put out ES6 javascript?
