Yep, we are using arrow functions and other ES2015+ goodies, but they don't help with event handlers. In fact, I believe class property syntax helps with that, but we only figured it out after we built these few pages and components necessary for the web app part.

They do. Just do:

  myHandler = (v) => {
    ...
  }
and you don't need to bind in the constructor anymore. You'll need to use Babel of course to transpile that.

Yes, class properties syntax. I mentioned that in the article.

Hmm, so why do you say "but they don't help with event handlers"? Because it's not yet standard?

Sorry, I didn't think about the arrow functions being used in class property syntax too. :) So yes, they do help with event handlers, I stand corrected.
