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!

It was hard for me to get into it of course, as it is quite complex and has a lot of depth, but after that it's simply great.
