Hot take: tools with built-in support for Babel or TypeScript are bad for the ecosystem. They stifle competition, and make it significantly harder for a new compiler to get adoption. It also harms Babel/TS by having another tool locked to their major making it harder to iterate.

Well, node isn't the first popular language to have that tough I think (is it?). Golang didn't have that and it didn't seem to go so smooth from there. (Forgive my ignorance if totally mixed up here. Thanks)

Most popular languages have a package manager either bundled with them (eg. NuGet, Cargo, pip, CPAN), or a de-facto standard one that everyone uses (eg. Composer). Do you feel they should all stop doing that?
