It's very obvious in this thread who has maintained a system of >10KLOC (i.e. more than a college project), and who hasn't. All the "shit" in C++ isn't there to solve anything in the problem domain, it's to solve something in human psychology--making large systems comprehensible.
Apologies to ex-C++ programmers who laboured under bosses who forced them to use every feature in the language. That isn't the way to do it either--you're professionals, use professional judgement.
