Yes. And things are a lot better now, I remember using IBM WebSphere UI tools (written in Java) circa 2004-5.

It took several seconds of whited-out buttons and stuck UI for every CPU intensive operation -- all on the same thread. And that was from IBM, and from tools that you paid for a small fortune.
