I'm definitely in favour of using classes. Personally I find them easier to read and write. We are already using them in at least one place, the ProjectBuilder in cordova-android.[1] This came about from a refactor I did a few months ago, and since we dropped support for Node 6, it made sense to me to use a class. I don't think we need to go refactoring everything, but if there are new features to be added, I would strongly favour using classes in those cases.
