Most of my experience is in C++ and C#. I adore C#... but I agree: it’s as though developers have difficulty getting to the task at hand when using it.

Maybe it’s because attempting even simple abstractions in C++ can foot-gun yourself in some esoteric way? In comparison, the cost to build unnecessary abstractions is lower in C# so many live on.

The ability to gauge the right level of abstraction is the mark of a good developer.

That being said I rather rework an over abstracted C# codebase then a hyper templated , singleton using, multiple >5 inheritance, no STL, void pointing C++ madness.
