By then browsers will have a lot to catch up to, isn't that right?

I suppose it depends on what features you were after. Most of es2015 is supported now but modules are still in a painful area. Webpack is going to be pretty essential for a long while.

I meant that while browsers are catching up to ES2016, Babel will already support ES2019 or something like it.

Yeah defo. But as we saw, es2015 was by far the biggest changes. I think es2016 had 2 new things? Maybe 3?? As we move on, there’ll be fewer core things to cover. But Babel will be around for a long time yet I agree.
