Threading: real pain or just whining?

Aside from the VB.net faggotry, and the date of the post (2004 lol), i don't understand why is this people so scared of threads. Right, they add complexity, and a different way of considering problems, but sounds like they are trying to use them in the wrong place (like, everywhere). IMO, proper isolation and adequate locking for thread communication is enough, and doesn't really add any potential flaws to the code.

Right, Java just lacks critical language features like good generics. C#/.NET's implementation of generics is superior.

But seriously, you're right. Java hasn't been slow as shit since the early 2000's, but there are still plenty of other reasons to hate Java. My dream is a corporate-sponsored language with C#/.NET's awesomeness with the JVM's portability.
