I have been seeing many comments lately about C++ getting too complicated: "auto is bad for typing", "templates are so hard to use", "there are too many features in the language", "I don't see the point in using lambdas"...
And what you say basically is: "older is not better: today's C++ is better" \o/
PS: this is the first time I see such an old IDE, I love CLion even more now!
It's very pleasant to read your article!

Indeed, the language is improving. Those gainsaying autos, templates, & lambdas simply haven't wrestled with the problems motivating them.
