I tend to agree, as a C++ developer. There are many core issues in the language that haven't been resolved and that are unacceptable for kernel code.

My personal pet peeve: C++ is unable to reallocate a new[] region. This makes basically all structures (vector, hashmap, trees...) unusable for large data handling.
