I am learning React and ES6 currently. I dove into React before really understanding ES6, and your article is really helping to illuminate some of the dark corners of JS. Thank you.
One section I was hoping would get more treatment in your article (like the same treatment you gave classes, which was great) was imports/exports. Named vs. default exports are kind of baffling for a newcomer, and the usage of the named import with curly bracket syntax seems completely arbitrary.
I am sure there are many, many good explanations of named vs. default imports/exports out there on the Internet, but this is one that leaped out at me. I was a little disappointed that the section on imports/exports was so comparatively short. It mostly discussed the usage of imports/exports in CRA.

Still, awesome article. Thanks again.
