I remember when I was a C++-o-phobe.

I remember when I was a C++-o-phil... a few projects latter and some C++ code reviews on some big projects... back to C!
C++ is too incentive for brain damaged design and the complexity of a C++ compiler is too insane to be reasonable (we have already the kernel and an optimizing C compiler and that's fairly enough!). It's a matter of reasonably keeping the software stack as low as possible in size and complexity. Each person has its own perception of the limits regarding the latter issue, and C++ is overboard as far as I am concerned.
