I agree with this. I think using lodash is a 'use boring stuff' decision in javascript. It feels kind of clunky and outdated in some ways, when new native APIs are covering more and more of what it can do year by year, but at the same time it 'just works' in the most obvious way possible.

With native APIs, you're essentially just doing the same things with a slightly different syntax and sure, it feels cleaner. It is cleaner - where those native APIs actually exist. But if you have to support anything but the latest versions of evergreen browsers, now you're worrying about polyfills, build targets, etc etc.

It's not that hard, but it's just one more thing to worry about and one more thing to be surprised by when it fails on a corner case in production. Meanwhile, if you'd just used boring old lodash, it would be working and you could be paying attention to something more important.
