Do you know that the async/await constructs are just sugar for the Task class you have access on C# 4.0?

The C# implementation is a wrap/unwrap of the Task class, in F# it is using computation expressions to lift the synchronous code to an Async monad. The async construct is much easier to reason about, especially with nested tasks.
