Yeah, I think it's just unfamiliarity with this approach + deep familiarity with the callback approach, and I'm merely reporting my experience and not making a judgement on the approach in general.

That said, with some further accustoming to the channel approach, it will probably both read naturally and be apparent where the async stuff is happening.
