I am not confusing verbosity with complexity and I have written all kinds of C++ software over a career of 15 years ranging from legacy core banking systems to hardware drivers. In fact, the simple C++ code often tends to be verbose.

When you are writing complex software, you are bound to get things wrong in any language, not just C++.

What I am arguing for is that C++ code need not be complex even if the C++ language itself is complex or the software is complex.

If you have an argument against this, please make it substantiatively without resorting to insinuation about the kind of work I do or not do.

I apologize if i sounded condescending, and coming from a BFSI background myself, it was such a relief to write software systems in Java after years of C++. I agree "C++ code need not be complex", but the language itself is so designed that most often than not, you end up heading down a slippery slope.
