And for loops (which double as list comprehensions). And the existential operator. And "this." shorthand. Among other reasons. To my team it's also more clean-looking than Python (which used to be my favourite language), esp. when using a good syntax highlighter like Atom's (or at least that differentiates function calls, like Github's).
Yes, there's not much difference now from ES6 regarding features, but for some of us it's still worth it.
