I could understand what was going on before transpilation. There was just Javascript, and while some functions might not exist in different browsers, the core was the same.

Now I have to figure out the difference between: ‘umd’, ‘commonjs’, ‘esnext’, ‘es2015’, ‘es2018’, and a whole bunch more.

I don’t want to keep up with JS politics just to be able to develop with the latest version.
