C++ lends itself to a large variety of different programming styles and paradigms. C++ also lends itself to premature baldness, by developers ripping their hair out trying to make systems developed in different styles interact with each other. A popular thought is that any given team or company should pick a particular subset of those styles -- and perhaps a subset of C++'s features -- and use them to the exclusion of others.
