ES6 is mostly just syntax sugar and standard library stuff compared to ES 5 just like CoffeeScript. TypeScript is about about static analysis (and required metadata called type annotations in code which allow the analysis).

Big difference is that ES 6 has indeed replicated most solutions of CoffeeScript. However so far I can tell ES won't be ever(?) statically typed and therefore it won't ever(?) solve same problem space as TS.
