Been there, done that. Be a lamb and stop with the nonsense. I'm sure you
run every file operation in a dedicated thread, 'cause you'd *"never ever
ever do I/O in the main GUI thread of a Qt application" ...*
Writing like a politician, with the all the generalizations without any
context, and context is everything, ain't impressing nobody here. You're
talking to devs, not to some old lady in the mall.

Makes three of us then (and I'm sure many more silent ones if they cared to
comment on the silliness).

Yes, depending on the case, the volume of information and latency you're
after. For a console application I wouldn't care much about blocking the
event loop most of the time ...

Indeed. It used to be, on low-level side of things, that waiting/sleeping
was implemented like an empty IO operation (not sure if it's still the
case).
