Ask HN: Can I still use ES5. in 2019

i prefer es5 and understand it inside out. while i get es6, i don't like that the meaning of "this" has changed within => functions. i understand how to scope and am comfortable using var instead of let and const. if i'm the sole or lead dev on a project, would it be irresponsible to my clients to continue to code in es5?
