If you think this is a reason to jump on the ES Modules bandwagon you haven't looked at the loader spec. https://nolanlawson.com/2016/08/15/the-cost-of-small-modules/ …

Promise overhead right now is much costlier than function overhead. The load spec calls for each module resolution to use a promise.

Which means that, if the current spec holds, *native* browser resolution of ES Modules will be slower than the worst browserify benchmark.

While web developers are saying ES Modules are great for performance, the spec wonks are literally saying perf doesn't matter for native.

Clarification: the "spec" is not agreed upon https://whatwg.github.io/loader/  so if you care about this you should contribute https://github.com/whatwg/loader 

nah, I feel unwelcome there - people far smarter and patient than me have tried and been ignored, don't have the energy to try
