I think you'd have to agree that C++ does not make it easy to learn how to do it properly, and nor does it make it easy to actually do it properly. Go at least makes it far easier for most programmers to do an acceptable job which has to count for something.

I know C++ since 1993. Having used it alongside many other programming languages and followed quite closely the standardization process in "The C++ Report" and "The C Users Journal", latter named "The C/C++ Users Journal".
I only used C instead of C++ when forced to do so.
Yes it is a complex language, requiring a good background in programming languages to use it properly, but so are quite a few other languages that provide a similar set of abstractions.

True, although in a similar way as Java 1.0 was a better C++, however we are no longer in 1995.
