In the recent years C++ received a lot of backlash due to its complexity and (perceived) feature creep. However, since C++11 I really enjoyed writing C++ with its strict type system (including const), range-based for loops, smart pointers, and how much you can do with templates. On the other hand, I know that it can be very tricky to write, for instance, a correct iterator, to get handling of rvalue references right, or to read error messages that involve templates.
So, do you enjoy or dislike writing C++ source code and why?
