For me
setTimeout(function() { console.log(x) }, 5000)
is cleaner than
setTimeout(console.log.bind(console, x), 5000)
I used .bind() a lot to get rid of scope-problems for once and all
times. But then the code became, well, a mess: Everything I saw was
calls to .bind() ;-) Way too much noise. And it did not really solve
every scope-problem for once and all times.
Now I use .bind() when it is really necessary.
