C++ has taken on a whole new level of power in the Visual Studio suite with all the new .NET managed code stuff. I'm an old-school C/C++ programmer and I learned Windows programming on WinAPI and MFC... I'm just moving to .NET-managed stuff in the VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 environment and I love it so far.

I can't imagine what it would be like walking into programming at this point though... talk about a muddled mess... I do like the new enhancements they made to the language though.
