I also prefer var since it fits better with const.

class C {
  var x = 1;
  const y = 2;
  ...
}

is better than

class C {
  x = 1;
  const y = 2;
  ...
}

Another problem with skipping var (which we saw in Traceur) was that
without both var and initializer it looks really strange.

class D {
  z;
  ...
}
