In summary, Visual Basic is universally regarded as an abomination by software developers who clearly see its syntax, goals, and proprietary nature as The Wrong Thing. C++ is an abomination because it tries too hard to be The Right Thing but fails utterly because it is incomprehensible, broken, and obfuscated to the point even C++ programmers don't understand it.

Haha, true to some extent. But C++ is fully possible to understand. It might take some time to get used to all the weird stuff, but it's fully possible. Though I will admit I can't really read templates too well myself. Especially not error messages involving templates.
