Why people don't use C++
1, you have to know that there is a key labled "Caps Lock"
2, you don't even know how large "int" is
3, you do know how large "char" is, but you still don't know how large "wchar_t" is, if you or your user sadly don't speak English only
4, you don't know whether you're passing paramters by value or by reference now that you are encouraged to use REFERENCE over pointer
5, you can use smart_ptr, you can use STL, but you can't use them together
6, you will get 300+ warnings when you try to compile boost with Visual C++, mainly because some of the souce files are saved in some you never heard of and never will figure out codepage. And if you try to replace VC++ for g++, you will find out you can only build gcc on *nix, as if windows users don't need to be set "free"
7, you look for Network library for weeks
8, you finally found the greatest one which is on its way towards the STANDARD LIBRARY, and there is only TCP/IP support, no HTTP,SMTP,POP3,etc.
9, you look for GUI library for months, years, and will never find a good one
10, you finally found the best GUI library, which is platform indenpendent, has a WYSIWYG designer and plenty of widgets/controls, generates executable files no larger than 3MB, and even takes care of globalation/localization, but it's not written in C++, but U++
