You're right, David!

That kind of things have nothing to do with quality robust code.


Yes, these are the kinds of idiotic things that give C++ a bad name as being
too complex. Much of the reason for the success of .NET is not that is
garbage collected, it is that they cleaned up all this needless complexity
so that people like it better. It makes me really mad to think we could
have had the same development experience they do, but for native code, if we
weren't bogged down in these kind of messes. I realize now that this is why
people like Delphi so much. It offers much the same benefits of .NET but
for native code.
