It has been a month or so since I started programming in C++. To be frank it is not the monster that I thought it would be and it wasn’t that hard to move to C++ from C#. Granted I haven’t faced any of the notorious and nasty bugs that is difficult to debug in native code but I still think C++ isn’t as hard as I thought it would be (touch wood).

That being said I do miss a few things that I was used to in C# and .NET. Here are the top 3:

1. Refactoring tools
2. Garbage collection
3. A good mocking framework for unit testing
