## User needs

Observables are designed to make event handling more ergonomic and composable.
As such, their impact on end users is indirect, largely coming in the form of
users having to download less JavaScript to implement patterns that developers
currently use third-party libraries for. As stated [above in the
explainer](https://github.com/domfarolino/observable#userland-libraries), there
is a thriving userland Observables ecosystem which results in loads of excessive
bytes being downloaded every day.

In an attempt to codify the strong userland precedent of the Observable API,
this proposal would save dozens of custom implementations from being downloaded
every day.

Additionally, it enables developers to build less-complicated event handling
flows by constructing them declaratively, which may enable them to build more
sound user experiences on the Web.
