It fragments the ecosystem. A developer that does not want to use a feature gets limited in its choice of libraries. It makes it harder for people to contribute to other C++ projects (experience can not be directly translated since different aspects of the language might be used).
Exceptions are a good example of that: you can't use a library that's built around exceptions for error reporting if you don't want to use exceptions in your own code.

I avoid it, but it still happens to me sometimes unconsciously and I hate it. Not to mention one more point to argue over coding style.
