The syntax looks awful? It looks extremely clean. It cleaned up the JS syntax enormously...

Talking mostly about things like:

// 1. [a + b] // [a + b] is an array {[a + b]: c} // [a + b] is not an array

// 2. { x, y: x, y} // inconsistent object fields

and there are more examples. After you get to know the syntax, it can be used for good -- but some decisions are making the language more complex.

As written above, I enjoy its new features

Bracket notation isn't anything new to ES2015, using it in that context is though.

var a = [3] // [3] is an array

var b = {3: 4}; b[3] // [3] is not an array
