Traceur scared people away both because it was a build tool and had a runtime dependency. Now that tools like Webpack are common, introducing a build step at ay point in your workflow is trivial. Moreover, many of the JS Harmony improvements can be transpiled with a tool like Babel or jstransform without the need to introduce yet another library in your deployed code.

If you want a cool way of adding traceur to a development webpage... without adding a compile step, check out https://github.com/bfgeek/swes6
It uses a serviceworker in the background to transpile es6-js requests into es5 transparently.
