Of course it's biased. It's also not really wrong on a lot of counts. You really can write more expressive, terser code in C++, that sacrifices no readability and only a very tiny bit of performance (on non-embedded platforms). Seriously--RAII alone saves approximately twelve hojillion lines of code (and saves you from hideous factory-pattern libraries spread hither and yon, which is also a plus).

The flip side of that coin is that if you don't know what you're doing, you can blow off your leg, your friend's leg, and the legs of everyone in a twenty-foot radius.
