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.

>Why aren't vectors used in macros? Because there's no point to use them instead of lists.

actually I think in cases where the car is not interpreted significantly differently from the cdr, using a vector instead of a list makes a lot of conceptual sense and gives better visual cues as well. That's basically Clojure's idea...
