Nope, listeners will never go away -- they are a large concept behind
Mach-II and even frameworks like Grails (Java). It's that call-method
cannot make decisions on application flow and that is where listeners
excel at. Listeners do application flow controller. Call-method is
more about getting data and logic-less. In the past you have to use
listeners to get data and you'd end up with a ton of getXYZ() calls that
were mostly one liners getUserService().getUser(event.getArg("userId)).
Call-method that does that better and in less code because you don't
have to create a method. However when you need to make a decision (say
posting a form and you need to decided whether it's pass/fail) --
listeners can have the logic in them, but they are usually short and sweet.
