I'm torn on this. Had to learn (well just the basics) c++ in school and even though I didn't really know anything I wondered if things really need to be that complicated. So I went over to the "dislike c++" group as soon as I figured out one exists. On the other hand, I really enjoyed his c++ book (there are probably many, don't know which one anymore) and from it and the few talks of his I saw I think he's really good at explaining and a good teacher.
