Last year I went through Anthony William's C++ Concurrency in Action to better understand the "new" threading library. No complaints. Actually, I've been using it in several components that are "pure C++" (i.e., no Qt, only STL).

My point of view is that, where I'm using Qt anyway, I might as well use its threading library for the very nice support it provides for other things such as signal-slot connections across threads.
