I regard frontend as fundamentally event driven. I have yet to have a scenario
where I actually care about when my machine is ready, I can readily assume that
it always is and that what I'm handing it is (comparatively) peanuts. If I'm
overdoing it with the events - just throttle where necessary and reduce event
workload on the system.

Ixjs seems to be best described as "When the technical task is so big reactive
just makes no sense", e.g. its sth that if you were to split it into events,
it'd be 100.000 events at once, or one even so huge it'd take forever to even
get the data for the first event fully loaded into ram (e.g. by being a huge
file to load).

That latter scenario I encounter rarely, to say the least
