Perhaps - but when wanting to make a custom control - it gets unclear
(to me anyway) whether one should subclass one or both of the player/
class pair. This is the bit I expect people to get wrong often.
An example is the multi-column Mac OS X file browser - I sat down to
try to make one of these a couple different times and never really
got anywhere as I kept going around and around on whether I should
just keep the existing file chooser player, but make a new costume,
or make a new player to go along with it.
Having once built an event based system that relied on a pair of
threads separated by a queue - I can see how debugging things can be
a pain as you don't have that nice stack to figure out just how you
got here.
