Except that's not how it works. The realistically high skilled C++ people are far and few between so you end up with a shit crock cludged together out of vaguely bastardised MFC'ish code, knotted with Win32 and ATL and Boost with a load of "features which were too dangerous to use" removed.

C++ has such a bad legacy, it's going to be really hard to shake off the bad old days.

Perhaps in time when the newer generations actually have been using C++11 for a while, but not for at least 5-10 years if you ask me.
