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.

C++ is good because programmers are stupid. If we had more intelligent programmers we'd have more Lisp applications. This faggot is basically arguing obtaining a Bachelor's Degree is better than obtaining a PhD or heaven forbid, a DoE or otherwise, because Bachelor's are easier, more common, use by more people, are cheaper, etc, without regard to the consequences of this analysis. [spoiler]There are only consequences in Computer Science, have you read your SICP today?
