Multi-Threading (posix compatible) would probably make porting some apps
more easy. But I think it is not really needed often - altough many
programmers use it. But probably these programs could also be rewritten to
work without multi-threading. Maybe even cleaner & more stable? ,...

I once had an look into an mult-threading lib for the atari st,... But I
think it will not work with the multi-tasking OSes, because it switches
the Stack Pointers / PC within current process...
