I think multi-threading is probably overused, because developers want
to use it and minimize in their minds the problems it can introduce.
The main problems are:
1) The simple presence of multiple threads greatly increases the
difficulty of writing correct code.
I think it would be more precise to state that the simple presence of
multiple threads greatly increases the difficulty of debugging
incorrect code.
Writing multithreaded code is harder than single-threaded code, agreed,
but if the tasks at hand are nicely disjointed and the writes are very
localized it isn't such a big deal.
Just my 2c.
