I like it too and I'm happy to be using C++11 for software development. It's mature, standardized, cross-platform and has a good tool & library ecosystem. When it comes to shipping something, I'll take C++ any day over the language that just turned 1.0 or the other one which doesn't have a debugger and can barely optimize. I guess there are those non-sexy languages you use to get stuff done and the ones you blog about.
