To be more precise, C++ templates allow you to instruct the compiler to do work that would be very tedious by hand, but still possible. Consider the Linux kernel's red-black tree facility: you essentially get a kit for building a red-black tree, and you're responsible for putting together the relevant parts for your particular data structure. In C++, that can be accomplished with one line of code.
The FOSS community generally produces good software, but this odd cultural C++-phobia really needs to stop. C++ being considered harmful is harmful.
