Funny, I now treat everything as a promise: all my functions are async because it keeps the interface simpler: if they don't return a promise, they are just a normal function, no harm, no foul.

I see no reason to use callbacks, unless the NodeJS module dev didn't implement promises. And even then I write a wrapper. I'm glad to see later versions of Node include promisified versions of things like File IO.

I agree. They are easier to use. But they require more effort to write. Promises are easier to use than create. Maybe they are the direction in which public APIs will go but I do find they take extra effort to write, compared to callbacks
