I'm sure a lot of people are in this same boat. It used to be that I was afraid to use any new JS features for many, many years due to the fact that so many people were using old browsers. Today, browsers update automatically, and the only outlier is the 5% of people still using Internet Explorer. So, recently I've changed my attitude to accept anything in ES8 (or at least async/await). The problem now is that different sources of info will still use older methods. E.g. Promises were used to augment/replace the use of callbacks in many situations. And now async/await is augmenting and replacing promises in a lot of places. So you'll still run into a lot of sources saying promises are the new and better way to do some things, when async/await is actually a better choice.
