I think it's ok. Async/Await is an amazing ES6 feature, keep going with that. You might forget about the callback hell.

And one more thing. Await can be used with the sync functions. It just does nothing if you make a mistake. E.g.


const asyncMethod = () => {
   return new Promise(resolve => {
      setTimeout(() => resolve('Hello'), 1000);
   });
}

const syncMethod = () => {
   return 'World';
}

function async greeting = () => {
   const hello = await asyncMethod();
   // below await is not needed, but it works too
   const world = await syncMethod(); 
   console.log(hello, world); // logs Hello World
}

Of course, you don't have to put await anywhere, but if you don't know if the function is async or sync just put it and you will be right.

Good luck!
