This seems to be the main aspect. Current designers and coders are used 
to play their music as one-man-bands.

Concurrency requires everyone to upgrade to a conductor of equally 
skilled one-man-bands. This includes the ability to plan for the right 
equipment, to take into account an unstable number of available skilled 
personal and planning for the missing of the conductor itself.

Sadness lies in the fact that quasi-single-cpu cuncurrency seems much 
harder to master than massive concurrency.
