## What it is
A curated awesome-list aggregating tooling for writing ECMAScript 6 (ES2015) JavaScript today, covering transpilers like Babel and Traceur, build-tool plugins, polyfills, and related utilities. It is a link directory rather than runnable software.

## Use cases
- find transpilers to compile ES6 to ES5
- discover Babel and Traceur ecosystem tools
- learn which tools support ES6 modules and generators
- find gulp and grunt plugins for ES6 transpilation
- browse polyfills for ES6 features
- find tools to convert ES5 code to ES6

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference to the ES6-era tooling landscape
- you are researching legacy JavaScript build setups
- you want a quick curated index of transpilers and polyfills

## When to avoid
- you need current, maintained tooling recommendations for modern JavaScript
- you expect runnable software rather than a list of links
- you need up-to-date coverage of ES2020+ features and modern bundlers
