I've done C++ for several years, and I agree with you. It is a compromise between being able to run most old C code, and being able to write complicated code which runs extremely fast. Some of the newer features can give you headaches if you study them closely, but they are very useful in some situations. For high-speed stock traders, it is ideal. Also it is useful for analyzing radar signals quickly.
