We should discard classes instead. People have trouble understanding `this` because they insist on thinking in terms of classes and methods which are second class concepts in Javascript. Once I understood objects and prototypes, `this` also became easy to understand.
Programming with Object.create produced the cleanest code I've ever seen. Nothing but functions, objects and prototypes. I simply don't understand why the new versions of Javascript insist on adding even more of this class stuff.
