For me the speed and UI convinience are far more important than better
emulation of obscure POSIX features which is probably important only for
programs that I would not want to run regardless.

 Unfortunately select/poll are a key part of efficient event-driven
programming. In the 1990s (the heyday of Windows NT) they tried to handle
all of this with threads, only to discover that, unless you were doing
something heavily CPU-bound, the programming complexity just wasn’t worth
it.

IOCP on WinNT 4.0. Well, I used to use it a lot. Worked well. Way back in early 2000's.
