I use ecore_con, timer, job, and animator in a couple of my projects.
The first two I use a lot in my huge project.  ecore_con_url and
preload I just haven't bothered to try out yet.  I also use EFL
threads and ecore fd handler for some async stuff.

There was one thing I was thinking that I might try promises on, once
the API and arguments are settled, replacing timer and job for
sequencing some async startup stuff.  That would still leave ecore_con,
timer, and threads heavily used in that project, but I think that's the
only place I use job.  Promises as initially described to me seems like
a slightly better fit than timers and jobs for this startup stuff.

I've not actually looked at promises yet though, but I agree in
principle with Raster when he says that things should be consistent and
use the same infrastructure.  Having said that, now I'm wondering why we
can't just extend jobs?
