Re: Why I love C++ so much.

Because writing

hex << setw (8) << setfill ('0') << ((uintptr_t)(x)) << dec << setfill (' ')

is just soooooo much easier and more self-consistent and less typing than

"%08x", x
C'mon, while it is slightly longer than the sprintf() version for such simple thing as printing single hexadecimal number, there are plenty of things sprintf() just doesn't offer that you can do with C++ IO streams.
