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.

You are asking wrong questions. The second one is better, but still not quite there.

The correct question is, "Why does C++ have such a bad reputation in /prog/ and /r/programming?" Asking the right question is half the right answer, isn't it?
