Interested in updating to ES6? #412

Just seeing if there's interest for a PR converting the codebase to ES6, transpiled by Babel.

I've thought about this too, but I've always preferred to keep it simple so that people can download the zip and run it / modify it right out of the folder without needing to install any build tools. Maybe that could still be done (at least the 'run it' part) by including a built version of the script in the project

I support this. I find ES6 way easier to work with. Sure if the person wanted to change it they would have to use Babel for ES5 compatibility, but I think that trade off is worth it.

Not sure I'd agree. Edge cases like mine - I am using a desktop shell that runs on Chrome 41. Granted it's old and will be updated soon but I can think of a few massive projects that are using this types of setups. Transpiling is nice but having it running off the bat is even better.
