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++.

C++'s attitude of creating syntactic pseudo-abstractions that don't actually buy you anything.
But they look so intimidating! Imagine the bewildered face of a noob, who encounters them for the first time in an involved template code.
