Often when using C++ I find myself solving C++ problems, not real problems. In a domain with very difficult math and performance challenges, the C++ problems will be dwarfed by the difficultly of the real problem you are solving. For domains outside of physics and applied math, I think the dominating factor is often the inherent trickiness of writing correct procedural code vs. the ease of writing strongly typed functional code.
