That's not actually true. Many C++ programmer express a dislike 
for how the the syntax has developed over time, all the weird 
corner-cases, the obfuscated meta programming mechanisms and 
unpredictable implicitness when trying to do more advanced 
typing. Just getting the right constructor to fire can be a 
challenge.

The general C++ semantics are good enough, but the language has 
to many weird aspects to it that is "beyond repair" and that 
makes C++ programming time consuming.
