๐Ÿ”ฅ Discussion ๐Ÿ”ฅ ES6 Classes. Good or Evil?

Hello, everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹. I am a newcomer when it comes to JavaScript. I come from an OOP background (C# and Java). I've recently learned that ES6 has a class keyword that preforms similarly (but not exactly) to common OOP languages. Normally I would be inclined to use this feature in my projects; however, it came to my attention that the usage of class in JavaScript seems to be heavily discussed (mostly in a negative light). My questions to this community are:

  • Should it be used often, sparingly, or be outright avoided?
  • What are its advantages and disadvantages?
  • Are there specific cases where the usage of class excels?

Please share your thoughts.
