Using Node.js require vs. ES6 import/export (2018)

I'm starting a project using NodeJS.
I did few Javascript classes and they say, that the all browsers support ES6.
I found this question here, that was asked 3 years ago and the last answer was made in 2015 and edited in 2016.
The technology moves on pretty fast, so i would like to know, if this still the case in 2018.

Are you targeting node.js for server side code?

Because it’s still an experimental feature in Node, I would recommend avoiding ES modules unless there’s a specific advantage you’re looking to gain with them (e.g. a static analysis tool that only supportsimport).requireis pretty great already and you’ll certainly be using packages based around it – may as well not introduce interop considerations.

importare still in experimental stage those things can change in future so better go with officially supportedrequirefor now.
