For me it's the `moc`. Is it even possible to use Qt with only standard C++?

As long as you don't use anything derived from QObject, but that pretty much defeats the purpose...

The moc is to effectively extend C++ with signals and slot at a language level. I'm not crazy about the moc, but I love signals and slots. The only alternative is slow-compiling templates like boost signals and slots, which also have less than compelling syntax.
