If someone includes your plugin and the binds some custom event, another programmer down the line may look at the code and have no idea what plugin is triggering that custom event. Furthermore, you need to be careful about namespacing as other plugins may also trigger the same events. It doesn't improve performance at all and just makes the code less maintainable and readable. There's a reason that you hardly ever see plugin authors use this method. I don’t like this approach, “cool” as it may be because it obfuscates the code.
