It is?

Language wise? Not much. It's more of a library and culture "problem". There's no inherent reason why C++ can't be used for web frameworks.

C++ would be an absolutely fantastic language if it were allowed to start from scratch library-wise.

But that'll never happen.

This is so true. The C++ stdlib has a few nice things (esp in C++11), but the most important part - the container classes - mostly suck (IMHO).
