If you take those points one by one, none of them is a reason to switch to C++. But for some kind of larger projects where efficiency is important, C++ is still one of the best choices. I went from C++ to C# and wouldn't want to go back, but C++ is still a strong and lively language with many active projects and a good future. If I would be forced to implement something outside the .net framework, I would not hesitate to pick it up again.
