Pointer types in C can mean a bazillion different things, and C++ provides you with zero cost abstractions to unambiguously represent many of the useful ones (references vs owned pointers vs shared pointers vs arrays, off the top of my head), that alone makes it worth the price of admission for me.
RAII is a damned useful idiom too, makes writing safe code that much easier.
Tooling for C++ is pretty damn good in all the usual platforms
