What do you see as wrong with the Go model for concurrency?

I find the process/message-passing approach infinitely easier than
shared-memory multithreading with all its needs for locks, monitors,
semaphores or lock-free programming.  True operating systems will need
these latter techniques, but surely they are operating system level ones
and should never have to appear in application code?
