I actually jumped from callbacks to async/await. Promises for some unknown reason just didnt capture the "full fix" to the problem for me. I had battled callbacks for a long time and I think smaller, cleaner functions ended up reducing the amount of callback hell I hit in a single implementation. I started to notice posts on various blogs discussing the endless .then world too.

In the end when async/await came along it felt like the most natural method to writing code, without the nesting and ultimately more readable.
