Chakra does better than most of its competition on ES6 support: http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

(I use v8 and javascriptcore all day but I still appreciate it)

Temporarily perhaps. Most of the gains look to have happened within the long IE11 to Edge 12 release cycle. Firefox 45 looks like it'll leap ahead again, and they're on a 6 week release cycle...

I'm not disputing MS have made impressive efforts. I've just yet to see anything from them that would make me put long-term stock in their open source commitments.

Chakra has been well ahead of the other browsers for >1 year now. That lead has been declining (as there's only so much of 100% you can implement), but kangax has always shown it to be ahead.
