I can somewhat understand not using STL as the library assumes 
you are using certain paradigms, but they sometimes doesn't do 
the job. It is similar to phobos being designed GC in mind.

But if you are not even using templates, why bother? For OOP? I 
would never move to C++ for OOP, since you are also losing 
something quite important in the process, interoperability with 
other languages. Most (maybe all) languages (i know) have some 
kind of interface to C. With C++ you lose that one too.
