The STL is generally nice, I agree, and I really miss the separation of algorithms and containers in every other language.

Generally, however, I'm not really a fan the ‘generic programming’ paradigm the STL (and boost) are based around. In C++ it quickly leads to an explosion of complexity.

And as for the best part of C++, RAII and sparing use of templates. ;-)



STL is the separation of algorithms and data.
