Double as confusing if you're used to taking a more fp approach, too. I definitely went overboard with await when it first came to JS, but nowadays I've found a new respect for .then. Especially in TypeScript where it's easier to chain the functions and worry less you're using them wrong. Many of the functions I'll write for a .then will find their way into an Array#map or an observable too.
