+It is considerably more convenient. But non-functional properties are not currently supported for ES2015 classes, you should install extra plugin to support this syntax. If you want to only use strictly ES2015, the former syntax is the better choice.

 The `defaultProps` will be used to ensure that `this.props.name` will have a value if it was not specified by the parent component. The `propTypes` typechecking happens after `defaultProps` are resolved, so typechecking will also apply to the `defaultProps`.
