I started programming back in the day when every programmer wrote his own String class :).

Standard library was, for one reason or another, unpopular back then. Or maybe because of the C Windows API and later MFC, which came with its own CString class...

Add to the confusion CString, BSTR and std::string and std::wstring. What could go wrong?
