:You pays yer money and you takes yer choice :).

Yep!

The big problem with not using OS-level threads is that you only get
to have one system call active at a time in your whole program. With
OS-level threads, you can have several threads actively doing system
calls. That lets you have threads updating your on-disk database or
something, at the same time as other threads are doing socket calls.
