I love ES5. The language has gone downhill though.

Now thats an unusual viewpoint? Could you elaborate why you think so?

I personally found js terrible before es6 and love it since then

Here are some things I find problematic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21848597

But I’m happy for you that you like ES6. You all own the language now, so enjoy it. Us ES5 folks are going to have to rewind and fork so we can have a community again.
