The event loop argument is the least convincing one for me. Any other language with green-threads/coroutines/continuations/etc lets you write an event-loop system without needing to uglify your code with callbacks or promises. Javascript is finally catching on to this with generators (yield statement) but it bugs me when people talk about callbacks as if they were a good thing.
