That's not surprising. Even among its adherents, C++ evokes a love-hate relationship. I really don't like the language, but reading Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language" and Josuttis's "The C++ Standard Library", I have to say that I can respect what they have done.
And when you read something like "Effective C++", you learn to appreciate (or pity) developers who have to keep that much information in their heads in order to code. I personally gave up on it years ago and went over to C, but I like to keep up-to-date with what is going on in that world.
