ES Modules are a mess - ES modules are definitely a mess. I'd love to use the new syntax, but everytime I've tried, I've ended up in some totally intractable disaster. They took something that worked flawlessly (require) and tried to replace it with a russian roulette footgun, that occasionly is a bit better. But it's a friggin russian roulette footgun! I'm not at all suprised by the adoption stats. I think forcing people to migrate as the author suggests is a very very bad idea. borischerny.com #
