    The traceur transpiler is nice and full-featured, but it has some major
    problems with recent chrome updates. This change switches us over to the babel
    transpiler, which means we're using the same es6 implementation on both the
    backend and frontend.

    Babel is unfortunately missing a couple Array features (Array.from and
    Array.find), and the handling of this in fat-arrow functions is slightly
    different. Babel's handling of this is actually more correct than traceur.
    Babel also has more strict rules regarding super() calls in class
    constructors. The bulk of this change is cleaning up those issues.

    Flipped around between the calendar and user detail views. Everything seemed to
    work correctly. Deployed and saw that everything worked correctly in production
    too.
