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.

Only because ancient C standards assumed that int was the default return value, and could be omitted. This behaviour is highly deprecated nowadays and should never be used (try -Wall).
