Why would you say that?
Anyway Ash has said that the event system will still be there, it's just that events will create an .xml file. Think Dreamweaver... you are using a GUI to make an .html file... which you could also code by hand if you wanted to. Same thing. It shouldn't be obligatory at all.

Just to clarify, this is something planned for Construct 2.
Which very likely wont be ready in a real, usable form for quite a long time. So anyone thinking of waiting until then might just wanna get used to the current version and find workarounds.
