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.

I hate the fact that I mostly agree with this.  I mean, C++ is a convoluted, cumbersome piece of shit, but it really is kind of the best convoluted, cumbersome piece of shit option you have, if you want to write anything useful.  I guess it depends on your definition of "useful," though.
