I’ve used C++ for near 10 years and I don’t hate it (that’s a lie I hate it with a passion), but C# is just has much more flexibility, has better error messaging, easier to integrate 3rd party libraries, better package manager, better namespaces, no header hell, no memory leaks, exceptions with useful information, reflection, and so much more. C++ has raw speed.

I want to say this, but it's honestly been close to a decade since I've seriously touched C or C++. I've used Objective-C more recently than C/C++.

These days, if I'm thinking about creating an application, I'm defaulting to C#.

Java was designed to say "Fuck You" to C++, and C# was designed to say "Fuck You" to Java, so C# says "Double Fuck You" to C++.

No, c# is java done well and I can't stand java.

C++ is a pretty decent language with a few weird features.

I may be biased by programming in Qt + c++, the best UI development flow ever created

You're not alone.

you've used both and still feel that way? i admit, i'm surprised!

why the love for c++?

nope
