This is an interesting argument.

Can you give more details? Which differences make you prefer it?

One of the things that I like about libev is that it makes effort to be
efficient and simple in terms of allocating data structures. No such
thing as always dynamically allocating stuff like the Gnome projects, so
much that it looks more like Java than C. We can have the libev
structures directly in our own data structures.

Is libuv similar in that respect?

The fact that it is designed to run the interpreter of a language with a
garbage collector worries me.
