C++ hatred

Why is C++ hated so much here in /prog/? Many good software are written in C++.

I'm aware that there are some problems in the language and it is considered "hard" to master it, but why do so many people hate it? What harm has it done?

Software can be written much quicker when using some scripting languages like Python. Software can be writte slightly quicker when using some managed language like Java. But when using those languages, the resulting program will require more resources to run. So there is place for C++.

For example, I bet the web browser of 99% people browsing /prog/ is written in C++. It's not perfect language, but it is the best language for complex program with relatively small CPU and RAM requirements.

templates are a very bad solution for generic programming.
they have inconsistent implementation across compilers (even today, 20 years after templates have been "standardized"), horrible compile-time implications, absolutely impossible to debug (try debugging a boost class, I dare you) - even the compilation errors they cause require some skill and experience in order to decipher.

there are much better attempts at generic programming - .NET generics / dynamically-bound languages like python, and in some cases - even C macros are a better choice.
