Problem with using babel-register hook is that it slows down deployment time a bit because it transpiles ES6 to ES5 in run time. We need to rectify this in mern-starter. To use it in production you might want to precompile the app. Take a look at compiling options in babel here.

Technology is not enough. It has to serve an agenda. What's yours?

My thought exactly, but the whole point of having a starter project is that it is ready for use. If it's not that big of a deal, please try and modify Mern-starter to accomodate it. I know babel parameters very well. It's not about that. it's about deciding how to compile the server with babel and the current folder structure while having webpack compiling the client. The current "build" script refers only to the client compilation by webpack. It compiles it into '/static/dist/' folder. Where would you suggest to compile and run the express server using babel-cli?

Lets discuss about it on this repo thread .
