There are so many people love C and "hate" C++. We know it is the same  
language with one of them has some nifty extra tools.
Generic programming, namespaces, easier OOP, operator/function overloading  
and many more.
Now why would they hate C++?
. politics
. politics related to certain features like OOP, operator overloading, you  
name it.
. complexity
Could you tell me anything other than this, that make sense?

I am not comparing libraries and also not in a position to do that since  
didn't even see Tango.
But a question comes to mind. For library development (or just everything  
if that matters) is the top down OOP approach ideal/right way?
It is just an idiom that might have elegant solutions for certain tasks.
