Why does everyone here seem to dislike C++?

So I'm a 3rd year electrical engineering student at university and so far we've been taught how to code in ones and zeros, assembly, C and C++. Out of all of these I like C++ the best. I wouldn't say I'm great with it, but I can use it to get what I need done. But every time I come onto this subreddit everybody always makes fun of C++. Apart from school I'm kinda interested about getting into game programming as well as windows applications. Can anyone explain what's wrong with C++ and suggest a language to learn next?
