cooperative multitasking, no memory protection, can't take advantage of multiple cores, and very much tied to the ARM architecture?

Has Haiku already improved the crash friendly in multihreaded code experience, and software rendering from BeOS?
Yes. There are ports of Qt 5 for example, so you can avoid the BeAPI layer and write code that is portable. You shouldn't, but you can. The Qt/QML code is standard and all the threading and BLooper/BLocker dance is not a "thing" when you use it. But, these days, multithreading is a lot more prevalent so I don't think modern programmers have such an issue with it. I write multithreaded code all the time.
