Similar feelings for the first point, we differ on the second.
Personally speaking, I never saw any kind of underclass developing with these evented systems techniques, if anything, blockage decreased and teams got decoupled. (caveat that could have just been introduction of solid versioning and maintaining backwards compatibility)
I saw much greater attrition with the onset of unit testing and enforced code reviews. But that also led to much higher quality developers so maybe that had a bit to do with it. (the ones that stayed got better and the ones that joined were stronger)
> People either self teach event based thinking or struggle.
I feel like if you're dumping a new way of thinking on your staff, any staff, and then expect them to self teach or have zero support you're asking for problems, I don't think that makes event systems more complicated than REST. Rest involves a crap tonne of thinking to get right if you're able to easily blur the lines between RPC and REST or the client and server code.
