Beginners and professional, on blogs, in forums and chatrooms - people say it everywhere: C++ oh dear god no

The short form of the question:

  • For what reason is C++ so widely disliked and people are horrified by the imagination of using it for some project?

I have been using a lot of different languages, including C++ by now, and I can only say that I really like it. I'm far more horrified by Delphi than by C++. Actually, I find it's an almost perfect, compiled language! I've been doing a lot of different projects in C++ as well, ranging from 3D video games to webservers and emulators for old video game consoles. And I still do not see the problem everyone else seems to have with it!
