React-starter-kit: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

Followed the instructions, I'm getting:

$ npm start

It seems like Babel doesn't pickup settings from package.json#L101-114. Do you have .babelrc file in the root of your project, if so, it may override settings from package.json

I have the same issue. This was occurring after a direct clone / install from the repository.

@pierrenel @jaylaw81 just update node.js to v5 or change this line from "node5" to "es2015"

What @frenzzy said :) Feel free to reopen if it doesn't fix the issue.
