In my experience with desktop apps beyond toy examples in VB6, asynchronicity is something you have to pay way more attention to in the desktop world than on the web. Sure, the web is sort of fundamentally asynchronous, but the interactions you're making with the server tend to be more coarse-grained and easy to reason about than a desktop app with a UI thread and processing threads that need to communicate often and at a fine-grained level of detail.
