    I don't agree with you. After all, what you're saying is to use the features
    of a language even if it's not a good idea. What if I don't like templates?
    Or exception handlers? Heck, what if I don't like using // as a comment
    delimiter? Does that make me a bad C++ programmer? In some cases, even though
    the "textbook" says to use a template, the result could be such horrid code
    that you spend more time debugging it than writing it.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
