C++ after 11 is a very different beast. It's more pleasant to write compared with pre-11. Memory model, move semantics, smart pointers, lots of stuff standardized instead of left to the libraries.

Definitely depends on your team of course.

smart pointer template blah, instead of pointer blah, in a very large code base.. hmm not so pleasant.. the debug level function definitions, adding templated parameters, are literally unreadable. I will agree that the mental model is tamer.
