> But beauty can be abused, and doesn't always age well

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And beauty alone isn't sufficient for success. This everything-is-an-object paradigm and image-based development are great for some things and a serious liability for others.

After a month or two of Smalltalk, I always enjoy working a few weeks with C++ again. And vice versa.

Syntactically, C++ is an ugly mess and a total train wreck. Semantically, it has powerfull language constructs to offer that Smalltalk is sorely missing. Using the right frameworks, libraries and tools, development can be comfortable and productive. It really depends on the task at hand and the ecosystem you are operating in.
