Code practices and code reviews help with getting beginners up to speed and not clutter the code base. If you remove all experienced developers with inexperienced ones? Surely this will cause problems in any language. Also, I'll have to disagree with C++ being a narrow market. Just the market where C/C++ is almost required (high performance or low level) is large enough as it is. Then there is the discussion of which language is _more_ suited for a given task when you are doing higher level stuff that doesn't have high performance requirements. It might be wasted resources to put people with high knowledge of C/C++ to that kind of tasks. As for the language itself, in terms of productivity; _if_ the developers are experienced, I don't see any problem with it. With help from Boost and/or Qt, it is as easy as writing python (almost, sometimes :) ).
