Personally, the reason _I_ hate C++ is that I got tired of having to learn the obtuse combinations of symbols and excess keywords necessary to bludgeon my favorite refcount and memory management systems into the C++ objects. It just wasn't worth the effort when I could write equivalent, better, and easier to read code in C.
