They are to evil ... as what? To evil as chalk is to cheese? Black is to 
white? Bees are to honey? 

I think coroutines are awesome, but like all advanced concepts, sometimes 
they can be abused, and sometimes they are hard to understand not because 
they are hard to understand in and of themselves, but because they are 
being used to do something inherently complicated.
