Should "const" be favored over "let"?

I've switched to let/const completely. The gain of using const isn't
performance (you can statically analyze whether any non-global is
potentially assigned to). The gain from const is that it's very very easy
for a human to statically analyze.
If I see a let binding, I know I need to be a bit more careful with editing
that piece of code.
I originally thought this'd be a terrible idea, but it's been working great
for me.
