I prefer the raw promise syntax. It makes the promise chain look more like what it is, an asynchronous pipeline, and you don't need to litter async everywhere.

    const myAsyncThing = async (init) => {
      let value = await task1(init);
      value = await task2(value);
      return value;
    }

    const myPromiseThing = (init) => task1(init).then(task2)

I know this is a relatively simple and contrived example, but there are some times where async/await very much is bulky and gets in the way of just writing code.
