It might not be obvious from the tone of my post, but I was being rather facetious. I love C++. But like most C++ programmers, there is a bit of a love/hate thing going on. I love that C++11 rocks. I hate that I cannot yet write C++11 on RHEL. The "experimental" nature of the shipping C++11 compilers and the ABI incompatibility with C++98 libraries on Linux make it a bit of a problem for long-term stability.
Tell me again why GCC had to take on all the ABI breakage with the new standard?

Well, it's actually not broken much, yet. The std::string and std::list classes are still not C++11 conformant right now, and fixing that will certainly cause ABI issues.
Since the change to std::list in C++11 mode was reverted (it was incompatible in 4.7.0 and 4.7.1, reverted in 4.7.2), I've been using C++11 code against C++98 libraries without a problem.
