Pthread is there, standardized, proven in practice, so why not make use of it? In addition, there is a lot of legacy pthread code which N2178 makes compatible with future C++ <thread> based code. I consider both to be Good Things.
Some of the most annoying problems in C++ directly stem from being compatible with C :-/
On a syntactic level. On the other hand, one important reason for C++ to be so successful and hold its own against Java and C# is its ability to interoperate with C code and libraries.
