Node is marketed towards people with Javascript experience to a large degree, it seems to me (I could be wrong). People with Javascript experience more than likely have it via writing for a browser. A browser functions functions identically to Node: the event loop. So, those coming from writing Javascript in a browser will merely carry through their knowledge of development practices to Node, meaning they intrinsically will write event based code.

Or at least that line of thought makes sense to me.
