Lint Like It’s 2015 | JavaScript for Line of Business Applications | Scoop.it
If you write ES6 with Babel but JSHint holds you back, I have some good news!

In early 2015, I switched from React’s JSX compiler to Babel in order to use ES6 (and some ES7) syntax freely. It’s a tad slower but …rest assured, it’s the future. I never regretted switching to Babel for a moment, and I only have the highest praise for its authors and contributors. My only pain was getting Babel code to lint.
