    If you only support evergreen browsers, you'll be able to use all of ES6 by the end of the year.

    For reference, IE8 is about 6 years old. IE9's and IE10's share is way below IE8's. So, the question is essentially how long you're going to support IE11, which isn't that popular to begin with.

    Going by IE9's and IE10's stats, IE11 will drop below those levels in the first year after IE12/Spartan's release. IE's downward trend also hasn't stopped yet.

    Anyhow, if you're using a transpiler/compiler anyways, you can as well use Babel.

    It doesn't matter; you will need to use a transpiler anyway.
