There is very few features of ES6 that are not syntax sugar.

Those features will be (or already are) ported to CoffeeScript.

And the CoffeeScript sugar is just tastier.

ES6 syntax is kind of CoffeeScript for people who hate meaningful indentination and it's quite decent for that purpose.

(Weak)Map, (Weak)Set, Symbol, Generators, Promises, Modules, Proxies... these aren't sugar.

So generator, weak references and proxies.

Promises, modules we already had. Native implementation doesn't provide new functionality, just picks winners.

I'm really excited by generators and proxies but those are available in latest version of CoffeeScript already.
