Why use C++

Why is C++ so useless and to all the C++ people here what do you use it for?

- It is useless for systems programming because you can just use C and every serious systems programmer does that and every serious kernel/driver programmer hates C++.

- There are nicer languages for userspace programming so why use C++? It doesn't even have garbage collection and its standard library is a joke. Not to mention all the things that are so horribly broken in this language.

Why use C++ at all? Seriously this language is useless and Linus Torvalds agrees.

I find it interesting that you arrived at that conclusion, despite the prevalence of C++.

I don't think you're as familiar with C++ as you would like to believe.
