You can just set -std=c++03 and program like the language never evolved if that's your personal preference.

Other than that, there's always an interesting psychology at play in software engineering but it really seems to come out when people talk about C++ for some reason. Complexity is just needless bloat when it's a feature you aren't using, and it's an essential part of the language when it's a feature you are.
