I think some people try to compare apples & oranges with C++ vs [whatever]. C++ as a language is fairly portable, but still dependent upon the underlying machine architecture. Not all systems will support STL as well, so it's often useful for some of the more expansive libraries (such as QT) to include their own stuff.
Also I think of C++ only for desktop application use - and it's used a lot more than just there. There are environments where some of the things people complain about here are suddenly very, very useful and help keep clean, maintained code.
