In JavaScript have arrow functions fallen out of favor? I noticed all AI chatbots return standard functions like: 

function myFunction() {
   // code
}

Instead of:

const myFunction = () => {
  // code
}

I remember when React was all class-based, arrow functions were auto-binding and that’s when I first started using them and just default to it for everything now.

A bit more explictness never hurts

The main times I've used arrow functions have been in callbacks

I use function usually. I like hoisting, less typing, easier to scan.

Probably because the “function” syntax is more common in other languages, if I had to guess

I find the function keyword syntax easier to read if I don’t need to worry about the binding of “this”
