I beg to differ. QThread being a good example. So many people got it 
wrong when using it, it is obvious the API is just not right. The thing 
worked ok, but it turns out it hard to use it right. You may call the 
implementation orders of magitudes harder, but it was the API that was 
screwed up, not so much the implementation.
