Some disciple or strategy is required. I have written a framework with multiple thread pools with multiple threads, the team size has been about 15 for over a year and we haven't had multi-threading issues.

There is a tendency in some language camps to treat threads as evil, and unfortunately, it does not cut it always. You are absolutely right.

While in J2EE containers manage the thread model and application code is rarely involved, threads are absolutely essential in other contexts. For example, threads are a key component in GUI applications to ensure to ensure that the GUI remains responsive to user interaction.
