  That's a shame.  I think this indicates that they are poorly designed.  ;)

  Seriously, though.  The input source of an application should *not* be
very tightly integrated with the actual logic of the application.  I can see
how this is sometimes unavoidable, though, and how other times it simply is
more (perceived) work than it's (perceived) worth.  Perhaps Ian should have
said "canonical event-driven infrastructure".

In the days when Sussman was a novice Minsky once came to him as he sat
hacking at the PDP-6. "What are you doing?" asked Minsky. "I am training a
randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe." "Why is the net wired
randomly?" asked Minsky. "I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how
to play." Minsky shut his eyes. "Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked
his teacher. "So the room will be empty." At that moment, Sussman was
enlightened.
