YMMV, but I thought I would use them more regularly the more I wrote my JS in a functional style, but the use cases started to steadily dry up; it's gets much easier to write code that simply doesn't need to hold the reference in that way. Arrow functions help a great deal (there is no concept of `this` within them). Still very useful, but in very specific cases, or abstracted off into helpers. I've found `bind()` is much more useful (and will become moreso if the bind operator is okayed and optimised).
