Nyareh David, it is a great question.
The short answer is: Yes. The async/await syntax is dramatically easier than a long chain with promise. If it is in your hands, with async/await, you may seldom use the .then(), .cacth() methods.
But, we need to keep in mind that they are based on JavaScript promises. There are also great use cases of them working together. Promise.all() is a classic example. Lastly, take my interview warning at the beginning of this article.
Longer answer: I am preparing the content around it. Especially the usages of each and both together. You will find them published on my blog as part of this series and Youtube Channel in a few weeks. Stay Tuned.
Have a great day!
