ICS does not prefer events, it offers both blocking synchronous and non-blocking async versions of most high level component methods. So developers can make their own choice depending on application needs, instead of being forced to use threads with Indy and Synapse since otherwise the GUI dies while any request awaits completion. I generally use blocking methods for client applications that are only performing one task as a time, and non-blocking for servers which otherwise potentially need hundreds or thousands of threads.
