It is, considerably.

No doubt you are right, but that is not necessarily the perception out here in the world.

I am reminded of Mr. Cargill's statement: "If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor and when was the last time you needed one?"

IMHO, C++ in particular has a well-deserved reputation for being excessively complex. C# isn't interesting to me, since it offers nothing I need that isn't in Objective-C.
