First, thanks a lot for this guide. Love it!
I just wanted to point out one little mistake.

Promises are a very clean alternative to callbacks, but ES7 brings async and await which offer an even cleaner solution. All you need is a function that is prefixed in an async keyword, and then you can write your logic imperatively without a then chain of functions. Use this if you can take advantage of ES7 features today!

Actually ES2016 (or ES7) only added two features: Array.prototype.includes and the exponentiation operator.

Async/Await is featured in ES2017 (or ES8).

I'm really glad this has been helpful!

Interesting, I didn't realize the standards committee hadn't approved that. Can you send a PR for that? If not, no worries!

Sure, I'll make a PR 👍 (but I'm going to sleep now, it's 3 AM here 😄 )
Do you want to keep the ES5/6/7/... form or switch to the new one with the yearly releases?
Maybe both for the people who might not be aware of the correlation?

Haha good! Get rest, code ends up cleaner that way :)

So how about we just do a simple change with the wording and say it would be an ES2017/ES8 feature?
