I'm fairly new to this whole Javascript development game. I got involved in brown field development in a hobby project and I am blown away by how far Javascript development has come.
Like I say, I'm new to this area so don't have much of a frame of reference but `npm` is nothing short of brilliantly neat, and hassle free.
With regards to the different language varieties `babel` sorts all that out - you can use your flavour of JS as you see fit and it all gets compiled to orthodox cross-browser JS.
Seriously pleased with what these features provide to the development environment.
