I always wondered why async/await introduced a concise way of dealing with asynchronous code, but then breaks all this conciseness with try/catch ...

Hence I tried to combine async/await with catch for an improved readability [0] two years ago. Turns out I never used this approach, because it's not common sense when working in a team and still feels too verbose. Either one uses then/catch or async/await with try/catch. However, I still feel try/catch still makes code unattractive.
