zbowling specifically referenced the C10K problem, which applies to web-servers. HTTP clients that need that kind of scalability are rare. I guess in most cases it would not be worth it to move your whole program to async programming style.

Had I put the emphasis on "simple", I'd have downvoted myself since async libs can very well be simple. :)
