C++ isn't a person, and so we're not hurting its feelings by pointing out that it's terrible. If we hurt Bjarne's feelings by criticising his baby I'm sure he'll get over it.

I don't see much difference between pointing out that C++ is a bad idea despite the fact that some good software was written using C++ and pointing out that slavery is a bad idea despite the fact that some famous US landmarks were built using slave labour.
