C++11 vs older versions

Question

From what I found out, a lot of programmers prefer C++11 to older versions of the language. I'm quite new to C++11 but I'm starting to feel the same way already, since I'm not a big fan of some cumbersome features that was adopted from C. To all the experienced C++ programmer out there, I want to know your opinions on this topic. Maybe I can widen my own perspectives a bit more. Thank you. :)

Answer 1

constexpr
enum class
user defined literals
move semantic
final+override
smart pointers
many things for template metaprogramming

This is minimal list of reasons why you should like cpp11.
Better prefer cpp14, because it's more patch standard for 11, than brand new one. Like 03 and 98.
