There's a different question too, that I think is more important (for any language): how much of the language do you need to know in order to use it effectively. As another poster mentioned, the issue with C++ might not be the breath of features, but rather how they interact in non-obvious ways.
Parent say _all_ of it, not a subset for everyday use.
