And yet it seems (at least to me) that beginners are all too often

One reason for this is that concepts like select or poll are hardly known.

For some reason, as far as concurrent IO is concerned people often think of
threading as the only possible solution for this kind of problem.

The reason for this might be the dominance of some non Unixoid OS though ;)
