I wasn't even complaining though. I'm just demoralized due to the extreme and ever increasing complexity. I don't feel like it's worth it to update my C++ skills.

My real complaint about C++ is the utterly insane ABI situation. Only C++ code dares to touch C++ code, no other language can interface with it without a C interface in between. The new standards forced even C++ compilers to break backwards compatibility with themselves due to requiring certain data structure performance characteristics. There is such a thing as C++ code that won't even work with other C++ code produced by the same compiler.
