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++.

Manually managing memory makes me feel like I am a maid-programmer that doesn't want to use unnecessary memory on eir masters' computers. I feel dirty and disrespectful when using GC, and a good maid should always be proper and honest.
That's why I dislike GC.
