Seeing this article reminds me of all the reasons I don't use C++ any more. Instead of focusing on the important problems, like code structure, design, or God forbid, the design of the actual product, most of my life as a C++ programmer revolved around learning the mechanics of the language. And then learning the exceptions. And then learning the optimizations. And then learning the intricacies of the STL. And I'm still not an experienced C++ programmer.
