Not really true. Babel is a generic term for translation/languages and the Python and JavaScript world are very different so confusion about a translation library and a JavaScript transpiler is extremely unlikely.

It becomes confusing if you use Python and JavaScript in the same project, which is common in Web applications.
Hardly, 6to5 isn't a library that you include in your own code. Its a tool that you use indirectly through Gulp/Browserify/WebPack.
