Why is C++...

...so bad? Why does it have such a bad reputation?

I'm an experienced C++ programmer and, while the language has warts, I can't understand the reason for the enormous amount of criticism against the language.

I'd like to hear the honest opinions of /prog/rammers in this regard.

There's nothing wrong with C++ as a language. The fact is, it's the #1 programming language when it comes to coding PC games.

I can't speak for r/programming, but people on /prog/ are fucking retarded, and would rather jabber on about sub-par, shitballs languages while bashing the mainstream languages that are actually useful. (C++, C#, Java)
