Totally. And if you do need to support older browsers without a native `bind`, Underscore is your friend. There's not been a need to write `var me = this` or similar for a long time (or ever, really) but unfortunately you do still see a lot of - even very recent - code littered with it.
Is it really unfortunate? It's a matter of opinion. I find a single `var self = this;` to be much more readable than many .bind(this) calls when you're several levels deep.
