I use vector all the time, but that doesn't mean it's without any legacy baggage. It didn't get a clean sheet reboot in "Modern C++" The argument was "this bug

  It doesn't really matter when you pick. Every era of "Modern C++" has enough unsafety to judge it a failure unless unsafety was the goal. Take std::span which didn't even exist until C++ 20. Surely that's a modern feature and is safe by design right? Who would add a feature to a language they wanted to be safer five years after Rust and yet make it unsafe by default and even remove safer options "for compatibility" ? Ah yes, WG21.

    I was so let down by that. Surely after Microsoft being advocating for span across C++ and C#, based on their Midori experience, C++ would adopt it as safe by default, nope. The scenarios where there is no option in tooling (C vs C++ as only options), we have to keep using C++, for others, we can replace one domino piece at a time, eventually only those niche scenarios will be left.
