There's no one best solution to every problem; what you're mentioning is subjective from case-to-case, dev-to-dev. You mention the use of functional reactive paradigm over OO, but then you're accessing this.event in your example; EventEmitter doesn't currently endorse that.

OO and Functional have their pros/cons and it's up to the infrastructure, architects, and developers to implement what works best as the solution to the problem, which is question to endless iterations of improvement over time.

We can sit here all day arguing about this, but I think it's clear where we both stand.
