I like the idea of using C++ as C. I began disliking OOP, inheritance and encapsulation, heavy usage of GoF patterns and even SOLID. They promise easy to understand, easy to follow, easy to maintain, easy to change, easy to extend code and a good productivity but the effect is contrary, most of the times. I like functional programming and procedural programming. Fits better to how I think about code. Code is something that takes data and spits data. Code shouldn't be forced into emulating some real life concepts.
