If your code is unmaintainable, it's usually not because of language features, but because you have misused a language feature or you have chosen the wrong one for the problem.
What I assert is that there are many dangerous features in C++ that are easy to misuse. This is what I mean when I write that C++ is a horrible language; there are much better-designed languages that take a lot more effort to misuse. :) (C, Tcl, Lisp spring to mind immediately...)
