Its even harder to give quality education about how to use something to someone who doesnt want to learn. you hate high level, then continue programming operative systems, please NEVER DO something else. C++ was designed to give programmers high level tools and still being able to take care about performance. portability wont be possible after a standard is published and some couple of years given to the compiler developers. C++ had its standard in 1998, and add two or three years for compiler development = 2002. "Quite recently", way more recently that your last use of C++ I can bet.
