Well, if somebody carelessly uses general purpose apps/libs in a tiny embedded 
project he will have problems, no matter if it's C or C++.

If you just skip RTTI and exceptions you have enough fancy features left :-)

Just know what you're doing if you're using templates and multiple 
inheritance, there is no problem with them. Templates are so much better than 
macros, and if used carefully they don't bloat the code size.
