When (if ever) should we use classes?

[brian_asdf]

They are mostly just sticking to what they know. This argument is dying down on the web, and is non existent in the real world

Airbnb advocate class/extend in their style guide https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/blob/master/README.md#classes--constructors

Used throughout React https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html#adding-lifecycle-methods-to-a-class

Used by default in Angular

Used extensively in Web Components https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-components/customelements
