C++ code isn't inherently complicated. The people who write C++ code might make their programs unnecessarily complicated. I've read at least one program that was written that way. A web application written over 12 years ago without the aid of standard libraries or common sense. However, I've also read some really great code in C++. It seems to me to be very polarizing because it lets you do what you want without forcing any conventions on you, the programmer who knows what they're doing. I suspect the reason why people who make programs with C++ make those programs unnecessarily complex may have more to do with their psychological makeup than the limitations of the language (which I believe to be rather few).
