I have been using C++ for many years. I've been using C++ almost exclusively since 1996 (although I have started to use Java for some applications). I have developed tens of thousands of lines of new code and maintained this code in a released product. A number of fairly sizable examples of my C++ code are published on bearcave.com. My experience with C++ over these years has given me a love/hate relationship with the language. I would certainly rather use C++ than C. Even when performance is not an issue, I've chosen to use C++ over Java in some cases. I love C++ because it allows me to build complex software systems at a more abstract level than I could in C. I hate the language because of its seemingly endless complexity and seductive features (e.g., templates) which can lead into swamps of unmanageable complexity (just try debugging a deeply nested template).
