@sebmck 6to5 up until Babel 5 == great project. This whole plugin thing I thought was a joke.

@drewhamlett why did you think it was a joke?

@sebmck Seems to be a convoluted bunch of plugins that tries to do everything everyone ever wanted,while actually doing nothing out of box

@drewhamlett the plugins released and included in babel 6 are the same ones that were bundled in core in babel 5

@sebmck But you've written a javascript transpiler correct? So why not include a javascript transpiler out of the box?

@drewhamlett babel is a javascript compiler. the entire transition from 6to5 to babel was to facilitate that focus.

@drewhamlett you can see https://phabricator.babeljs.io/T568  which was opened back in jan of this year for discussion about that

@sebmck I have read that. Why do I need 4 plugins to get the same functionality that Babel 5 had out of the box. such as add-module-exports
