"With the new versions of ES, my code is more independent from external sources."

What about all of those external sources brought in to support building\transpiling\source map generation\whatever?

I consider Babel a trusted source. I prefer to transpile the code by Babel instead of using 15 libraries developed by one person. Also, I can remove some transpilation plugins as soon as the browsers implement it
