The C++ language is totally different from C# and VB. It has a lot of
features that make it extremely powerful, but that also make it more
difficult to use without fully understanding what you're doing. Even using
managed extensions to create .NET applications, C# and VB are far easier to
use, since C++ contains (by necessity) not only the ability to use the .NET
framework but old school C++ as well. It's possible to write more powerful
and faster applications in C++ (not to mention the fact that they can be
compiled and run on multiple platforms if you stick to the C++ standard),
but it takes more time to learn how to do that. If I were beginning
programming as a hobby rather than a job, and didn't intend to write any
applications that would require lightning speed or platform independence, I
wouldn't pick up C++ as a first language.
