Not sure that's the _only_ problem with C++. :) But I won't start a
language war. :)
On OS X, there are some downsides to choosing C++: one is that the tools
support is not as good. Xcode's refactoring does not support C++, the
debugger doesn't play nice with STL containers, the STL Debug mode is
broken on 10.6, etc., etc. C++ support is good, but it's not great.
