I have zero interest in defending the article in question.  But WRT "too 
complex", consider the following.  C++ has an exception mechanism.  C 
provided <signal.h> to handle certain exceptions, which C++ renamed and 
kept. Can't you see how providing two methods to do one thing is more 
complex than providing one method?  This has nothing at all to do with 
whether the approach used to develop C++ was necessary and proper.  It has 
to solely to do with the end result.
