You likely use "C with classes" C++, so C++03 for the most part, not the generics heavy C++ where you put everything into the header because it needs to be generic. This has massive advantages for compile time. Also "decent size" is a term with many definitions. E.g. Chromium has 12 million lines of C++.

I do write templates but not very often. Also when I do I try to consume those in a single file so that they could be declared there as well without propagating into a header. Not a good idea for writing libraries but works for applications.

I am far short of that of course.
