The author didn't really complain about too much specifically, just generally complaining about the language. I guess it's hard to say whether or not the situation is better in the latest versions of C++ (though as someone who uses C++ an awful lot I would assert that it has gotten much much better). That said, I think the complaint maybe comes down to coding style and architecture of the thing they're coding. They seem to make a joke we'd maybe more closely associate with Java than C++ these days. Also Microsoft's C++ style is awful. So if that's the only experience you have with C++ I would be hard-pressed to blame you for hating it.
