We concluded earlier than readability is subjective, so I don't think it makes any sense to keep arguing about what you find best.

My point is simply this: We can all have our opinions and preferences but, in the interest of objectiveness, I believe the best we can do is follow reliable sources. Unless you have the time to explore the matter in depth and write your own article with your own conclusions.

And there are many other sources that explore this statement in depth and conclude the same thing. This article was not meant to list the pros and cons of async/await but merely to share tools that worked for me and that are supported by documentation written by people far more experienced than me in the subject.

Here's another article from this very platform that explores the subject more in depth.
