I've used Traceur before, how does this project compare? (With an implied "why duplicate the effort?")

Oh, duh, I found it: https://babeljs.io/docs/compare/

Supports more features than Traceur and doesn't require a runtime library. Ok, that's a clear improvement :-)

And don't underestimate the value of "readable" transpiled code. It goes a long way, even beyond debugging (and no, source maps are not a silver bullet).
