I take so much flak for this opinion at work, but I agree with you 100%.
Code that looks synchronous, but is really async, has funny failure modes and idiosyncracies, and I generally see more bugs in the async parts of our code at work.
Maybe I’m just old, but I don’t think it’s worth it. Syntactic sugar over continuations/closures basically..
