I like it. It uses uncomplicated language, doesn't try to frontload you with the complexity beneath, and shows clean and well-principled code (e.g. no `using namespace std;` - they say that all code snippets compile).
And I say this as someone who gets a kick out of template metaprogramming.
Yes, you will commit atrocities if you try to learn C++ from just this resource. It is very much a nice facade around the bottomless pit that is C++. But in terms of getting someone started on their first small C++ projects, this is extremely to-the-point, and infinitely better than requiring people to dig through "how do I read a file" StackOverflow answers or needlessly elaborate articles that show terrible code "for the sake of exposition".
It might go against the intent of the site, but some kind of notice like "C++ is big and has many sharp edges, so you should eventually look to curate your understanding beyond this site" would round it out.
