Even Torquescript is not anywhere near brick eventing.
Furthermore, using CODE SNIPPETS that the IDE provides to you is not eventing.

You actually have to write scripts for your program to do anything useful, though. VS only helps with the visual aspects; everything technical must be done by hand.

It's a lot like it actually. The whole concept of giving a computer commands to execute is a skill in itself. I did some Lego Robotics programming before I learned text based programming, and I believe it helped a lot. It prepared me for the logic involved in writing a text based program.
