I know but that's just bizarre. One function has it's own this and another doesn't so if my arrow function gets big and I want to make it a regular function I may have to rewrite it. Ugh.

Edit: I'm thinking of cognitive load too. I like to eliminate load I don't need. Keeping track of this is not something I want to do with my life

There's absolutely no reason to make an arrow function a regular function just because it goes past a certain number of lines.

It really seems like you should become more familiar before forming an opinion. There's valid criticism to be made, but those aren't it.

I sometimes refactor code for purely aesthetic reasons. To each his own.
