The async/await example is much cleaner. I also think it's a great pattern for async code. It allows you to get away from callbacks altogether, and replaces those annoying conventions with "synchronous-like" code, which to me as someone who writes async code daily, is a god-send. The amount of visual noise in the promise example cannot be understated.
