Thank you. I've had this argument with many people, smart people (like Steven), people who haven't grokked that all concurrency has costs - that threads aren't magically more dangerous than other options.
I'm with Steven. To be fair, the danger with threads is that most people don't understand thread-safety, and in particular don't understand either that they have a responsibility to ensure that shared data access is done properly or what the cost of that is. I've seen far too much thread-based code over the years that would have been markedly less buggy and not much slower if it had been written sequentially.
