Multiple inheritance can be very useful if not used in an unresponsible way. For example, think of mixins. Or compatibility layers. Lately I had to adapt a wx 2.6 application to wx 2.4 I could either search and substitute $BIGNUM self.Bind() calls (which isn't done via simple Emacs magic, cause the replacement varies), or I could write a compatibility mixin and derive every GUI class from it, too.
