Why do so many people dislike C++?

I was reading the blog by Peter Seibel (Author of Coders at Work) where brilliant programmers like Ken Thompson, Joshua Bloch and Guy Steele have despised c++ to no end.

What is it in C++ that people hate so much? And despite so much hate towards it, companies like Google are still using it, and some of the programmers who snubbed C++ have worked or are already working at Google.

So, what is it in the language that despite so much hate from top programmers, it's still used at most of the places?

I haven't really used C++ beyond academic projects, so i don't know much about the disadvantages of the language. What do programmers here think about it?
