Hit it in a nutshell. I find C++ great as a language - complex but wonderfully powerful. It's like wielding a sharp [DragonSword]. However, the tooling is in the stone age compared to Rust. And there doesn't seem much cross-vendor interest in improving matters. The committee sticks to the language and not the broader ecosystem.
This makes it a no-go for younger programmers who are spoilt by friendly tooling - great build systems, package managers, superb documentation tool compared to the ancient, decrepit dinosaur that is doxygen, etc
