I agree with you. While I don't code c++ now it used to be my tool of choice (right back to when it was a c pre-processor) and every time I look in, the language is uglier and conceptually heavier. If there's two ways to solve a problem, c++ will provide three - none of which work on their own without gotchas, none which play nicely with each other and each which will be required for working with some 3rd party library you need.
