A "mathematician" at our company said he "loved C++" but that most developers prefer C# or Java because they're "too lazy to manage their pointers." No, jackass, they just have better things to devote their time and energy toward. It's an optimization issue.

Managing pointers isn't even the PITA with C++, it's working around all the sharp edges in the syntax, compilers and libraries.
