Hm, at first glance I am as well, especially with tagged template strings. Those look particularly simple but powerful.
Generally though, is it reasonable for features such as these to be included at the language level? I primarily use ES5 JavaScript so I'm used to pulling in a decent amount of modules (in this case handlebars, underscore, etc.) for things like templating.
But I will be relieved to have a language-standard solution to what feels like such a common problem for the environments in which JS is used primarily, despite the tradeoff that's made in accessibility due to feature bloat.
