await vs. then
Raw
await-vs-then.md

I recently run into a scenario highlighting that await is not always a drop-in, better replacement for then. Sometimes with then it's easier to control the scope of the function that runs after the promise is settled. I have a Redux middleware-inspired example here:

In example 2, the next call will only happen after the promise resolves.

In example 3, the next will be called immediately.
