I had a similar experience. I'd been doing C++ for DOS with some x86 assembly for a couple years when I somehow got access to Visual C++ (probably version 5) with MFC. Just getting to Hello World took me a solid week. Eventually I wrapped my head around it, but moved to C#/WinForms as soon as that came out.

Boggled my mind in university that c# was so smooth to get an application running, and the same ideas could not be applied to C++, in basically the same Coding environment. Tried for 4 separate times, always threw the towel.
