" many gotchas which are not obvious at all that it's actually not that easy after all" Totally agree. At first look async/await is simple and straightforward but it's way to easy to mess up in subtle ways. Most people don't even notice that their code has problems until they get weird behavior in production. In general I believe they made async way too pervasive in the framework and are also inconsistent.
