I really think professional developers are not driven by their emotions but by reason and arguments. I think as a productive developer you should always train your ability to get in a new context.

Yes but with const expressions and concepts the code gets  readable again.

Sure, some people who have spent a lot of time writing C++ move on from Qt and like Boost-like code the better but that kind of code, those APIs, are to blame for the very bad opinion many people have on C++. They hurt C++ jobs.

It really depends, not everything in boost its bad. The futures are nice. And the big problem are templates but concept should make templates easier to program.

I think it is more a question of maintenance. I prefer std::tread because it is quite simple.
