I see you've revised your comment from 3 days ago, where you made the more sweeping statement that "the longer you use C++, the more you despise it". My experience is that C++ is complex, but it gives you power. I think whether or not you like the complexity of C++ depends very much upon whether or not you _need_ the power that comes with it. If you do not need the power, I can understand your argument that a simpler language is preferable.
