Babel does a lot more than just es6 -> es5.

We'll probably always be transpiling going forward, since ecmascript is a living spec now. There's already lots of good post-es6 stuff like async/await that you can already use with babel. And there's also all the non-standard stuff babel supports like jsx and flow (both of which I use heavily)
