There is a difference between language complexity and library complexity. The Java language is very simple, but the Java standard libraries are a collosal, complex system. C++ the language is extremely complex and riddled with pitfalls and minefields. Just try to pin down the formal definition of such a widely-used term as "rvalue". OTOH I find the C++ standard library to be reasonably straightforward and well-designed. The STL in particular is brilliant.
