Admittedly there is a lot to learn to truly master C++. But I find RAII (and particularly move semantics) far more usable and manageable than the C-style C++ code I have seen.

As an example, you do not have to be a language lawyer to understand that C-style casts are horrible and dangerous, and really will lead to colossal implications for maintainability, team productivity and the bottom line for a business (it is a static_cast or reinterpret_cast? Who knows?!)

If you're employing people who only know half of the language or never finished chapter 1 of Stroustrup's C++ book, then I would say it is a problem with your employees than the language.
