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.

In practice it makes almost no difference because you tend not to write non-lazy (manually) recursive functions.
Fuck you, bitch! I frequently use continuation-passing style, instead of frigid single path return.
