I disagree that pre-11 C++ was bad. It would be bad now to make a new language that looked like pre-11 C++ but there is a reason it was so popular.

Its a bit like IE6. A big upgrade over C but the next update took so long that it was hated at the end of its life. Which coincidentally is exactly why C++ now does timed releases.
