Rubbish,  threading is needed in a lot of applications.   For example 
web servers or even web query utilities so that they can download 
concurrent parts of the page.

I use threading a bit,   especially for GUI part and application.   
Splitting these into two threads makes the whole process to work well. 
Now should the language support this quietly and transparently,  that 
is a different question.
