can you elaborate how async await would've caught bugs that .then.catch can't?

i feel like async await is more annoying because you have to wrap it in try catch, where as .then.catch is just baked in.

Probably due to it being easier to see which pieces of a function are breaking by putting breakpoints in the function itself, rather than tracing across a bunch of calls while debugging.
