I really don't mind the use of semicolons, but personally haven't used them for some time now. It removes some clutter from the code and especially makes chains ([].map.filter etc.) easier to extend.
I am not fully convinced to use semicolons everywhere just for the edge case when a line starts with paranthesis or brackets, but perfectly understand when people do so. There are of course other good reasons to use semicolons.

The above returns undefined because ASI places a semicolon after the return.
Nowadays there are linters and tools like prettier that can really help with these problems.
