Futures are a powerful technique to increase the parallelism of an 
application without much extra programming effort.  But as much as I 
like futures, it is Pollyannaish to claim that they solve all thread 
related problems.  Proper use of futures prevents the future threads 
from communicating altogether eliminating concurrency.  This is both 
good and bad; on the one hand concurrent programming is always risky 
business, yet in most situations involving threads concurrency is 
unavoidable.  A classic example is the dining philosophers problem. 
Each philosopher must communicate in order to share common resources.
