Hi yadd,

I saw the bugs you filed today. It appears node-rollup-plugin-babel 
should be dependending on node-babel instead of all these packages 
adding a build depends on node-babel.

It has a peer dependency on babel.

   "peerDependencies": {
                "@babel/core": "7 || ^7.0.0-rc.2",
                "rollup": ">=0.60.0 <3"

I think we should either make all the packages depending on 
rollup-plugin-babel or gulp-babel or babel-loader to work with babel 7.

Another way would be creating node-rollup-plugin-babel4, 
node-gulp-babel8 etc.
