Why still use C++?

So, why do people still use C++ if it is so complicated? Here is what I was thinking tonight. I was watching that lecture about the C++ Renaissance, but a lot of the code was so messy even for very basic stuff. Also, the libraries were very limited to just basic computational stuff. Then we look at things like Java or Lisp were the already given libraries can do things like GUI and concurrency (C++ took a long time to catch up). Everything is pretty safe and easy to code. I do not understand why so much of the industry still uses C++.

In the vast majority of cases, allocation/deallocation is stack-shaped, and it is trivial to do without GC. Some other cases involve cycles, but they're actually quite rarely needed and easily resolved using weak references. My point is that the only things for which GC is useful are closures.
