Heh I suggested this once on HN and got modded down to hell. I completely agree. I think any performance advantages of the async model are lost because it adds so much complexity to just reading and following code. The amount of effort JS programmers have to go to in order to write synchronous code that is legible, works and easy to understand is enormous. I am a Bad Programmer so accept that some of it is just my lack of willingness to spend the time to get over that hump but I find it almost impossible to believe the gains are worth the costs.
