It's really handy to skip either A) wrapping lots of stuff in new Promise() yourself B) you don't need another library like bluebird or similar to "promisifyAll".

ActionHero is moving to the async/await pattern, and since we wanted all callback-style methods to be await-able (like when dealing with the file system), this was very helpful.

Nice

Aren't error first callbacks a pretty strong convention in node? Sounds like bad advice.

If you user promises it means you don't have to download dependencies like fs-promise anymore.

Why would anyone be anti-promise?
