I think modern C and C++ compilers are very useful. Then again I know that these languages are full of huge pitfalls, so I know what I'm getting into, and when I make a mistake I blame myself, not the compilers. I also use the features of modern C/C++ compilers such as warnings (-Weverything on clang, then turn off those warnings I'm not interested in) and sanitizers (Undefined Behavior Sanitizer, Address Sanitizer).
