I would ask : What is the benefit of operations.js vs promises?

Similar to the examples you can easily do :

    promiseA.then(promiseB).done( ... )

Yeah, operations.js is meant for more complex scenarios than that. For example if we were spawning hundreds of operations that interact with networks/file systems. We can set an upper limit on concurrent operations using queues and express complex dependencies between them, compose them and cancel them.
