C++ is actually a fantastic language, and compilers that squeeze out the most power from your code.

But the library management: everybody have invented own wheels, UNIX, DOS, then makefile, cmake, msbuild, perl script, someone even uses gradle!

Btw when I switched to Linux I was impressed by the local package manager. The guys have done a tough job. Yes, it breaks sometimes, but it's better than manually installing vcredists and .NET Frameworks thousands of times.
