Ajax call new and old

Konichiwa,

writing ajax call with native JavaScript is a pain. For that reason I tend to use jQuery. But it seems there was an update using jQuery then method. The other day it came to my attention.

Old school

$.ajax(url, {
    dataType: "text",
    success: function(contents) {
	$modal.html(contents).show();
    }
});

New school: with then method

$.ajax(url,{ dataType: "text" })
.then(function(contents){
	$modal.html(contents).show();
});

By using then method, ajax call makes more sense to me.
