I thought so too at first, as those were the only things that disagreed with my previous style. However, I&#x27;ve been using &quot;standard&quot; for a bit now, and have to say that both of those decisions have really grown on me in light of ecma2015 features. Space after function name works well with generator functions and yield. Semicolon placement has become somewhat less consistent with the new object literal and class syntax and skipping them everywhere has saved me from constantly trying to remember whether I need one after a particular function or method definition.
